  • Comic Relief’s HIV, Diversity and Dignity Initiative Opens to Applications

    Created: 21/10/2016
    News/Events Category: Funding and Finance


    Comic Relief is offering funding to UK based organisations working with partners in nine Sub-Saharan African countries to address the needs of marginalised population groups who are disproportionately affected by HIV.

    The new initiative is open to UK based organisations working in partnership with organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa who are either capacity building organisations that support community groups of Key Populations, or working directly with organisations led by Key Populations, or their networks.

    Comic Relief is offering grants of up £250,000 (representing between 25% and 100% of the projects total cost) to start new activities according to identified needs of Key Populations, or to strengthen existing work.

    To be eligible for funding, both UK organisations and local partners must have a demonstrated record of working with Key Populations of at least five years.

    The closing date for applications is Wednesday 16 November 2016. Shortlisted applications will be assessed in January 2017 and final funding decisions will be made in March 2017.
