COVID-19 & HIV funding opportunities
COVID-19 & HIV funding opportunities
As the COVID-19 pandemic is progressing around the world, we see more local partners being affected throughout their operations. Some governments provide emergency financial aid to those organisations hit severely, especially if they provide an essential service to society. Unfortunately, many local governments either choose not to provide support, cannot because of low budgets or only provide limited funding that does not reach all organisations in need. Luckily, there are foundations out there that, especially in this time, provide emergency funding to programmes that suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic. Ideal applicants cover challenges that have arisen due to the pandemic with solutions for those in need. On this page, we provide an overview of all emergency funding and grants to simplify your search.
