amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research Announces Funding Opportunity for Latin American Grassroots Organizations

June 2011

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, is pleased to announce new funding for innovative projects that address HIV/AIDS among gay men, other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender (TG) individuals in Latin America. Grassroots organizations led by or closely linked to MSM/LGBT communities in low- and middle-income countries in Latin America are encouraged to submit relevant proposals. Funds for this round of awards are made available through the generous support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Each organization may apply for an award of up to $20,000 USD to support project-related costs for up to 12 months. Only one application may be submitted per organization. Proposals for general operating support will not be considered.

Approximately $200,000 USD is available for this round of awards in Latin America; amfAR anticipates funding from six to eight proposals. Funding recommendations will be announced in October 2011. Organizations that are approved for awards can expect to receive funds to begin activities as early as November 2011.
