The Staying Alive Foundation has opened its first 2009 call for proposals for grants that will be given out on the 1st of June. The DEADLINE TO APPLY is 6th April 2009. Applications are accepted in English, French and Spanish.

The Staying Alive Foundation looks for projects that are led entirely by young people, and favours organizations which were set up recently and have not received much financial support. Equally, it looks at how well the project responds to the following goals:           

Educate young people about HIV and AIDS prevention and how it can be sustained..
Potential to be a true youth leader in order to establish a community response and commitment.
Alleviate the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS.
