AIDS is the most devastating disease the modern world has ever known. By the end of the 20th Century, 50 years worth of public health gains were annihilated by AIDS. This is an unnecessary tragedy.

The Elton John AIDS Foundation promotes ways to beaten the AIDS and to create an AIDS free future for everybody in this world.

The Pioneer Grant aims to support key populations at higher risk – such as men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers and injecting drug users – within individual countries. The application process for Pioneer Grants is currently open until 31st August 2013.

Pioneer Grants can be multi-year, and do not have a prescribed award amount. They must fulfil the following criteria:

  • They must have a focus on service delivery
  • They must be catalytic in nature
  • They must be scalable in design
  • They must be innovative
  • They must operate within one of our programme countries
  • They must be able to track changes such as access to condoms, HIV testing and treatment of programme beneficiaries

Countries where the Pioneer Grant is applicable are: Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, India, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, Russian Federation, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
