Opportunity Summary:
The US Ambassadors HIV and AIDS Community Grant was a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Mission to South Africa under the U.S. Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), listed under CFDA 19.029. Its purpose was to fund community level, evidence based projects run by nonprofit organizations that work with HIV affected and at risk populations. The core focus was on supporting and protecting vulnerable children and adolescents, with a strong emphasis on girls and young women, their sexual partners, and their families, all framed around the broader goal of helping move South Africa toward an AIDS free generation.
The opportunity anticipated making a relatively large number of small awards, with an expected 90 grants funded from an estimated total pool of about $1,490,000. Individual awards were designed to be modest in size to support targeted community interventions, with funding ranging from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $30,000 per award. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to South African nonprofit organizations, as defined under the laws governing NGOs in South Africa. To qualify, organizations needed to be registered nonprofit organizations (NPOs), actively serving HIV affected and at risk populations, and able to show they had been operating for at least two years. This structure signaled an emphasis on supporting established local organizations with demonstrated experience and community presence, rather than newly formed groups without an operating track record.
