New Pfizer Foundation Grant Program to Fund HIV/AIDS Prevention Efforts in
Southern United States
Deadline: June 25, 2003 (Letters of Interest)

The Pfizer Foundation (http://www.pfizer.com/subsites/philanthropy/)
established by Pfizer Inc., has announced a new grant program aimed at
preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS in the southern United States, with
particular focus on African- American and Latino communities.

The Pfizer Foundation Southern HIV/AIDS Prevention Initiative will direct
$3 million over three years to fund highly targeted prevention programs for
underserved populations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

During the three-year initiative, grants ranging from  $25,000 to $50,000
will be awarded to ten to twenty community-based prevention programs. To be
eligible, organizations must have 501(c)(3) status, serve multicultural
communities in one or more of the nine states, and have a primary mission
to provide HIV/AIDS services (prevention, treatment, or support services).

Preference for grants will be given to small and midsize organizations in
rural and urban areas that have a demonstrated track record of prevention
and service to multicultural communities that are disproportionately
vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Additional priority will be given to programs that
focus on HIV/AIDS education and prevention, either primary (among
non-HIV-positive individuals) or secondary (from HIV-positive individuals
to others).

Complete grant application information is available at the Pfizer
Philanthropy Website
