Agency/Program
EJAF or the Elton John AIDS Foundation has a mission statement centered on eradicating AIDS from the Americas and the Caribbean. They raise funds for evidence-based policies and programs and speak out openly about the harsh reality of those suffering with AIDS and HIV. Becoming the world's biggest HIV grant-makers, it holds to main offices in London and New York. EJAF has raised over $349 million for the prevention and treatment of AIDS/HIV ever since it was founded in 1992. With an estimated $7 million invested in the Americas spread across 120 organizations each year, half of this effort is focused on the Caribbean and the Southern U.S.
The agency in addition to its fundraising efforts, offers a unique perspective on issues, tackling the most difficult problems those with HIV / AIDS face. The organization focuses on sustainability and innovation, communicating regularly to allies and their grantees about any new possible opportunities for impact. One such grant EJAF received recently was for out-patient medical care, diseases and conditions, preventative care. The grant was for $55,000 and was authorized in 2013 with the grant makers being DDG Partners Foundation, Inc. The EJAF used this grant to help low-income with HIV / AIDS and fund preventative care measures.
HIV can be prevented and treated. This is what makes up the main mission statement of EJAF. Through the enabling of dozens of community organizations across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S., EJAF takes on innovative and sustainable work for gay men's health. The foundation also supports advocacy and investment for improvements in HIV testing, health, and treatment for Black communities, tackling common barriers that affect the health of people such as incarceration, poverty, and illiteracy. The foundation also helps over 30,000 people gain access to related harm reduction services as well as clean syringes that helps prevent injection-related HIV. This is what the project will help cover in relation to preventative measures and helping those with low-income receive adequate health care and treatment to prevent the spread of HIV / AIDS.
The Project is use of HIV statistics among low-income people and gay/lesbian populations to demonstrate HIV risk. It will require various types of intervention like condom distribution, prevention counseling, risk reduction workshops, and community awareness events. All of these objectives will fall under a $100,000 budget and will be staffed with paid and unpaid (volunteer) workers. A nurse will be hired to provide the training for volunteers and paid workers to educate people on HIV / AIDS awareness, counseling, and workshops. This grant proposal will highlight effectiveness of using statistics for project implementation as well as how successful the project can be based on previous programs.
Checklist
The project will use several kinds of intervention that are low-cost and will be able to help reduce the spread of HIV / AIDS and promote awareness. The first phase of program development is community outreach. By creating awareness of HIV / AIDS and providing information on where people can find help, it will allow the subsequent phases to reach more people. As people come in for help, they will be assisted via the second phase which is risk reduction counseling, HIV testing and counseling, and condom distribution. By providing access to as well as safe disposal of injection equipment along with the preventative measures, those with HIV / AIDS can help reduce the spread of injection related HIV infections. All of this can be done under one program with a nurse serving as the supervisor and trainer of 3 paid assistants. These assistants will train 6 volunteers and there will be 4 areas and the nurse will be collecting any and all blood samples for HIV testing.
Detailed Budget Justification
The $100,000 budget seems like a large amount, but this program needs this amount for it to run for at least 1 year. The nurse will be paid a salary of $35,000 as he/she will be the one to train the others and collect blood samples for testing. The other 3 workers will be paid roughly $10,000 a year each for part-time work and will do most of the counseling/training/cleaning services. The volunteers will not be paid, however, they will be fed lunch daily and that takes into account costs in the budget. Equipment like clean needles, needle disposal kits, personal protective equipment, rental space, and condoms will use up the rest of the $35,000. While some things can be gained from donations, rental space for the clinic to operate will cost on average $2,000/month depending on location.
