US Embassy Announces 2012 Small Grants Program to Promote HIV/AIDS Awareness

December 9, 2011

The U.S. Embassy in Nassau is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the 2012 President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Small Grants Program.  The U.S. Embassy invites community based organizations, non-government organizations, faith-based organizations, businesses, clubs, schools, and individuals to submit proposals for a one-time grant between $5,000 and $10,000 for projects that promote HIV/AIDS awareness.  Project proposals are being accepted now through March 15, 2012. 

The main goals of these grants include: educating people, especially youth, about HIV/AIDS and thereby preventing its spread; reducing stigma for those living with the disease; and encouraging people to get tested and to seek treatment. 

Proposals should target most-at-risk populations and persons engaged in high-risk behaviors, use mass media (i.e. broadcast, print, or new media) and have support from local government, community leaders, and the organization’s leadership, if applicable.

Additional information on grant rules and specifications can be found on the U.S. Embassy Nassau website at http://nassau.usembassy.gov or by emailing RollenewtonTI@state.gov.
