November 17, 2009
Funder's Concerned About AIDS (FCAA), a funder affinity group released its latest report on 2008 HIV/AIDS grantmaking among 345 US-based private philanthropic institutions. The report ranks the Global Fund among the top 25 US-based funders of grants that addresses HIV/AIDS and is also among the top 10 US-based funders supporting HIV/AIDS work internationally.
GFW is also the single largest women-focused funder on HIV/AIDS issues internationally, out of the 72 foundations included in this report.
The reports seek to inform stakeholders about the overall distribution and trends of European and US HIV/AIDS philanthropic funding, facilitate greater co-ordination and transparency among funders, and encourage expanded philanthropic support for HIV/AIDS work.
In the report, the FCAA also highlights long-time Global Fund grantee partner, The Legal Aid Division of the Shaanxi Women's Federation, to be featured in their publication as an example of "Innovative Funding" on HIV/AIDS.
