Posted by on April 09, 2012

M·A·C AIDS Fund United States Community Grants Program Accepting Applications for Food and Nutrition Funding
Deadline: May 4, 2012

The M·A·C AIDS Fund United States Community Grants Program supports organizations working to address the link between poverty and AIDS through grants for programs that provide food and nutrition or housing services to people living with HIV and AIDS.

The fund has released the guidelines and application for the food and nutrition component of the program. (The housing services application will be available July 13, 2012. Eligible organizations may apply for only one of the two grant opportunities each year.)

To be eligible, organizations must have 501(c)(3) status; operate an HIV/AIDS food and nutrition program five days or more per week and supply 50 percent or more of a person’s daily nutritional requirements in the form of prepared meals, congregate meals, or pantry bags; and have been in operation for a minimum of three years. Organizations also must have a non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation and specifically protects LGBTQ clients.

Grants range up to a maximum of $25,000. Grant requests should not exceed 20 percent of the total HIV/AIDS food or nutrition program budget. Funding categories include food purchases, capacity building, organization sustainability, and collaborations between organizations.
