The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation

The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation supports AIDS service organizations in the U.S. and Malawi, with a focus on direct care and prevention education. (Other international grants are by invitation only.)

The Foundation supports organizations that deliver direct care and services to people living with HIV and AIDS, often to the most marginalized populations. The Foundation also provides funding for HIV prevention education and advocacy programs throughout the world, including existing organizations creating new and innovative techniques that help spread awareness of HIV prevention and treatment to targeted communities.

The Foundation has three priority areas:

• Youth HIV Education and Prevention;
• Quality of Life Care for Children and Families affected by HIV and AIDS; and,
• Mental Health Wellness and Support for Women affected by HIV and AIDS.

Supported agencies must have at least three years experience in delivering HIV/AIDS programs.

The Foundation does not fund the following:

• projects that are not HIV/AIDS specific;
• salaries or benefits;
• general operating or administrative expenses;
• endowments;
• annual campaigns;
• research;
• capital campaign requests;
• startup costs;
• intermediary "pass-through" organizations;
• direct financial assistance to individuals;
• for-profit entities;
• costs of producing films, videos, theatrical productions, art exhibits, or books;
• universities, hospitals, or governmental agencies; or,
• conferences expenses.

Note: The Foundation's international funding is currently focused only on the southern region of Malawi.
