• Education/Mobilization: Policy/advocacy campaigns focused on improving public policy at local, state, and/or national levels

Amount: Grants range up to $5,000 over a six month period.

Eligibility: Nonprofit 501c3 organizations (or those with a fiscal agent), including community-based organizations and AIDS service organizations, as well as faith-based, human rights, clinics, or medical providers; and legal aid organizations. Grants will support work within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Native American Reservations/Tribal Lands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and any other U.S. territory.
