Arising from the work of the UNAIDS High Level Commission on HIV Prevention, the Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation is launching the competition "Social media and mobile phones for HIV prevention." The competition will award up to 10,000 USD to innovative, start-up projects to show proof of concept.

The Staying Alive Foundation is pleased to announce a new call for grant proposals.

The Staying Alive Foundation's mission is to encourage, energize and empower young people who are involved in HIV awareness, education and prevention campaigns. We aim to achieve this by funding youth-led organizations that raise awareness about HIV and AIDS among their peers in their communities and that have received little or no previous funding. Grants are a maximum of US$12,000 for 1 year.

The application process happens in two stages, and begins online at http://foundation.staying-alive.org/en/grants/apply with a short online form. The deadline to apply is August 15th 2011. We also have forms in French and Spanish which can be demanded via email: foundation@staying-alive.org

Grants will be announced on 1st of December 2011.

If you have anyquestions, please do not hesitate to email foundation@staying-alive.org
