NGOs and collaborations of organizations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia can apply for this funding of $15,000 (for individual organizations) and $30,000 for collaborations “to support projects that address HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM). Frontline organizations and collaborations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are encouraged to submit relevant proposals. Proposals for general operating support will not be considered.”
“Awards will be made only to organizations that are the equivalent of U.S. tax-exempt charity/nonprofit organizations, (e.g., NGOs, CBOs, charities, and other frontline organizations formed for a charitable purpose, such as education or access to healthcare information and services) or to a U.S.-based tax-exempt charity/nonprofit organization that is serving in a supporting role working with the frontline organization that will implement the proposed project. Successful applicant organizations will be comprised of MSM/LGBT community members and/or have established linkages to MSM/LGBT communities and experience directly involving those communities in the development and implementation of programs and activities. Applicants must have demonstrated organizational capacity to carry out the proposed activities and effectively manage award funds. Proposals will not be accepted from governmental units or organizations, for-profit entities, individuals, or applicant organizations that do not meet the eligibility criteria identified above.”
Application forms can be downloaded from amfAR’s website and can be submitted by email or mail. The deadline is 3 February 2010. For more, visit this link.
