Opportunity Summary:
The 2015 Ambassadors HIV Prevention Program (AHPP) is a small-grants funding opportunity offered through the U.S. Embassy in Belmopan, Belize, to support community-based efforts that help prevent HIV and strengthen local responses to the epidemic. The program is a project of the U.S. Department of State's Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and is administered through the Central American Regional Office of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In practical terms, this funding is meant to help local organizations run on-the-ground prevention and stigma-reduction activities that can make an immediate difference at the community level.
The program is looking for proposals that focus on reducing the spread of HIV, reducing AIDS-related stigma and discrimination, and encouraging communities to cooperate in fighting the epidemic. A central priority is work that is aimed at Key Populations (KP) and Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). The announcement signals that the Embassy is especially interested in proposals that are creative, original, and innovative, suggesting that applicants should go beyond routine awareness campaigns and propose approaches that are tailored to real community barriers, local culture, and the specific needs of higher-risk or underserved groups.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant under a community development and health activity category. The total estimated funding available is USD 30,000, with an expectation of making about four awards. Individual awards are intended to be relatively small, with a typical range (award floor to ceiling) of USD 5,000 to USD 10,000, and the guidance is clear that no single proposal should request more than USD 10,000. At the same time, the opportunity allows an organization to submit more than one proposal, which can be helpful for groups that have distinct project concepts serving different communities, populations, or interventions.
There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. Eligible applicants include local community-based organizations (CBOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), and clubs, with the eligibility category noted as "others" and clarified in the listing to emphasize local, community-rooted entities. This framing indicates the program is designed to support grassroots implementers and trusted local institutions that can reach people directly and deliver prevention and anti-stigma work in everyday settings.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number BH200 15 AHPP 08062015 and the CFDA number 19.029 (U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Programs). The opportunity was posted on August 6, 2015, with a proposal deadline of September 7, 2015, and an archive date of October 7, 2015. The administering agency is identified as the U.S. Mission to Belize. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact through the Grants Officer Representative at the U.S. Embassy Belmopan Grants Help Desk.
