AFC Awards $11 Million for HIV-Related Community Services

The AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) concluded its 2008 fiscal year in July with the award of more than $11 million in grants and contracts for hundreds of valuable projects and services advancing HIV prevention, care, housing, and advocacy goals.

AFC awarded a total of $400,000 to 56 local organizations for one-year grants through its competitive grants cycle. AFC distributed another $1.3 million in privately-raised revenue in designated grants for a variety of innovative collaborations and partnerships, including innovative housing programs, global AIDS initiative awards, and proceeds raised by agencies themselves through the 2007 AIDS Run & Walk Chicago.

AFC raised and distributed more than $445,000 in public funds for a range of innovative HIV prevention and care initiatives serving women at risk for HIV, post-incarcerated populations, injection drug users, and gay men. Another $9.1 million in federal funds provided thousands of HIV-positive individuals in metropolitan Chicago with case management, primary care, transportation, emergency assistance, housing, and other vital services at 59 delegate agencies.
