Frontline AIDS has launched the applications for the Rapid Response Fund to support marginalised communities to tackle HIV-related human rights challenges

The Rapid Response Fund helps organisations and individuals to tackle HIV-related human rights challenges, including stigma, discrimination and threats of violence.

The fund helps in three ways:

  • Providing emergency financial grants to organisations
  • Supporting organisations to strengthen their capacity for emergency human rights response work
  • Documenting and sharing best practice, to help influence decisions by governments and donors.
Funding Information
  • Emergency response grants of up to $15,000 USD are available to organisations across 24 countries, led by or working closely with marginalised groups affected by HIV: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBT+) people; sex workers; and people who use drugs.
Ineligible Funding
  • Humanitarian relief or direct aid for individuals such as housing, food or medication
  • Income-generation activities
  • HIV testing and treatment services
  • Foreseeable funding gaps
