The Fund seeks grant proposals from organizations working to address the needs

people living with HIV.

Information about eligibility, grant amounts, and how to apply are available in

the Request for Proposals Announcement, Grant Application, and Grant Application

Guide which you can access at www.gnpplus.net. Materials are available in:

Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

Eligibility

Only youth-led organizations or youth-led projects are eligible for funding.

Youth-led is defined as the project or organization leader being 30 years of age

or younger.

Key activities supported by the Fund are: Local, national, regional or

international HIV advocacy; local peer-based HIV services; and community

mobilization.

There are two application tracts – one for Core Funding and one for Project

Grantmaking Process

Nine regional Community Review Panels (CRPs) composed of young leaders with

experience in youth HIV and AIDS issues will review grant applications from

their region and make grant recommendations. One global Community Review Panel,

composed of one representative from each regional CRP, will make the final grant

decisions.

the HIV Young Leaders Fund. An Interim Steering Committee serves as the
