[2:35] - Why Grants Matter
Lyle Honig Mojica on the importance of grants
Grants allow AHF to create a partnership with a local government, allowing AHF to expand what we do in the region and support the overall community. Meanwhile, it provides access to other forms of funding for extending AHF’s mission.
[5:03] - Grants Both Ways
How AHF provides grants of its own to smaller organizations
In addition to receiving grant funding (4% of AHF’s budget comes from grants), AHF also provides grant funding to other organizations— particularly during the pandemic. One way we do this is through AHF Fund, a program designed to help organizations at the grassroots level as they seek to improve the lives and wellbeing of people with HIV.
[9:03] - How to Donate
Want to help fund AHF’s mission? Here’s how.
AHF accepts direct donations online through the website using a credit card or, more recently, cryptocurrency. They also accept checks, which are often written by individuals in memory of someone they’ve lost to HIV or AIDS. Some companies— IBM and American Express, for example— will match any donations made by their employees.
