The Elton John AIDS Foundation\u2019s mission is to end the AIDS epidemic. For almost 30 years, we have prioritized people around the world who are most vulnerable to HIV\/AIDS and those most likely to be left behind as HIV treatment and care expands. Today, those people become extra vulnerable because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are launching a new COVID-19 Emergency Fund that can protect the people we have always sought to serve through HIV care, treatment and prevention, as well as mitigating the damage that COVID-19 can do, particularly to the global gains we are making for more than 37 million people already living with HIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OVERVIEW OF CURRENT OPPORTUNITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With this announcement, the Elton John AIDS Foundation\u2019s COVID-19 Emergency Fund is accepting applications for solutions that have strong potential to address specific challenges that have arisen for people already living with or at severe risk of HIV\/AIDS and who are now at heightened risk as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such solutions should aim to demonstrably mitigate the threat of COVID-19 on maintaining current levels of access or increasing access to HIV-related prevention, testing, care and treatment adherence services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW TO APPLY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For full details on the application, timeline, selection criteria, please download our request for proposal outline HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To submit an application to the COVID-19 Emergency Fund, please complete this\u00a0application form<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0budget template<\/a>, and email both along with your most recent audited accounts to\u00a0covid19@ejaf.org<\/a> with the subject line \u201cCOVID-19 RESPONSE FUND \u2013 YOUR ORGANIZATION\u2019S NAME\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
