Latine-led and serving Organizations

The Conexiones Positivas Fund, supported by ViiV Healthcare’s Positive Action Grant Program, offers two grant opportunities through AIDS United to support Latine-led and Latine-serving organizations addressing HIV in Latine communities. For the 2024-2025 cycle: Caminos Fund: $90,000 in funding for emerging Latine-led organizations focused on HIV care, prevention, and leadership within Latine communities. Desarrollo Fund: $225,000 in funding for established Latine-led and Latine-serving organizations working on the social determinants of health affecting Latine communities, capacity-building for HIV leaders, and fostering HIV-related innovation. These grants, available to U.S.-based organizations, including those in Puerto Rico and U.S. territories, offer 12 months of renewable funding, supporting general operating costs to strengthen organizational capacity aligned with the Conexiones Positivas Fund’s focus areas. Organizations must be Latine-led (with 51% of board and staff identifying as Latine) and Latine-serving, with programs historically dedicated to supporting Latine communities. Applications are due by December 2, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Applicants must complete an eligibility screener and may submit either a written application or a 30-minute video narrative. Award announcements are expected by January 2025. AIDS United offers optional office hours and informational webinars for applicants seeking guidance on the application process.
