2024 Funding Opportunities

Open funding round

The 2024 Humanitarian funding round is now open. This is an open call focused on supporting people living with, affected by, or at risk of acquiring HIV displaced by protracted crises, with a particular focus on women and girls.

Application window: 18 September 2024 - 13 October 2024

Applications accepted to support projects from Focus countries: Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Countries hosting displaced people from focus countries: Bangladesh, Chad, Egypt, Kenya and Uganda.

Funding available: £50,000 over one year

Proposals for the humanitarian fund should focus on delivering activities targeted at supporting people living with HIV and engaging with displaced communities to prevent new HIV cases. It is encouraged that activities should specifically address the needs of women and girls in settings where displaced populations reside.

Focus of the call: Positive Action seeks to support community-based organizations operating in communities displaced by protracted crises to improve access to HIV prevention, treatment and care services and to support people living with HIV (PLHIV) to improve their mental health, ensure their basic needs are met and offer opportunities for them to generate income to secure livelihoods.

Please Note: This funding round is specific to organisations working in the listed countries and operating in the communities where refugees/ displaced individuals live.

    Through its Community Strategic Initiatives, Positive Action provides funding to community-led and community-based organisations that are committed to eliminating AIDS and supporting people living with HIV. We currently offer funding under two funding streams, Innovator Funding, that aims to test and pilot new ways of working, and Momentum Funding, that aims to scale-up proven ways of working.

    Innovator Funding

    • Investments into the testing and piloting of new approaches
    • The proposed approach(es) must be new to the funding applicant but can have been delivered by another organisation in a different location or aimed at a different target population.

    A two 2- year pilot that aims to build evidence before scale-up

    Momentum Funding

    • Up to £300,000 over three years (£ 100,000 per year)
    • Advancing existing, evidence-based projects to enable sustainable scale-up
    • The funding applicant must have delivered the approach(es) previously and have evidence that the approach(es) work
