Deadline– 17 October 2013
Interested organizations are invited to submit proposals for PEPFAR Small Grants Program under U.S. Embassy in Nassau. The goal of this program is to focus on increasing community awareness of HIV/AIDS and promoting discussion and action to combat HIV/AIDS in The Bahamas. Proposals may range from $2,000 to $6,000. This is the third call for proposals under the 2013 funding.
The program strongly supports creative, original, and innovative activities including but not limited to, promotional risk-reduction and prevention messages, voluntary counseling and testing promotion, training and education opportunities, and promotional contests. Priorities will be given to projects demonstrating partnership and collaboration as well as innovative arts and culture outreach.
Eligibility & Criteria-
These small grants are intended for small-scale, quick impact projects mostly to target hard-to-reach groups such as: at-risk teenagers & young adults, prison inmates, socially marginalized populations (e.g. Men who have Sex with Men & Commercial Sex Workers), migrant or displaced persons, and/or the geographically rural. In keeping with PEPFAR goals and the priorities of the Caribbean Regional Partnership Framework, proposals should target one of the hard-to-reach, most at-risk populations—directly or indirectly—and have support from local government, community leaders in the field as well as the organization’s leadership (if applicable).
