Protecting the Rights and Securing Resources for People Affected by HIV/AIDS

The Regional HIV/AIDS Consortium is an advocate for people living with HIV/AIDS and the organizations on which they depend. Working with policymakers and funders, the Regional Consortium seeks increased public and private funding for HIV prevention and care programs, for expanded AIDS services, and for an end to discrimination against people affected by the epidemic.

Funding Community-Based Prevention and Care Programs

The Regional Consortium funds community-based prevention programs via private grants and donations. Often a grassroots program provides needed services that do not fit within the guidelines fo a public grant. As a community partner of the National AIDS Fund, the Regional Consortium receives funding that it matches 2:1 to provide funding for such programs. The Regional Consortium also provides agencies with AmeriCorps members to serve in prevention, counseling and testing and quality of life enhancement.
