--- ## Description The Gilead Asia Pacific Rainbow Grant is a biennial funding program launched in 2018 to support community-led projects across the Asia Pacific region that address HIV care, education, and awareness. The grant is designed to empower, engage, and partner with local organizations to reduce HIV-related stigma, improve health equity, and create sustainable impact for people living with or affected by HIV. Projects funded often focus on marginalized and key populations, integrate mental wellness into HIV care, and uplift communities that are underserved or "left behind." Digital innovations, capacity building, peer support, and stigma reduction are recurring themes. The grant aims to accelerate progress towards global HIV goals, including the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets. --- ## Due Dates - June 2027: Full application deadline (anticipated/projected) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Over US $1.5 million awarded biennially to support community-led HIV projects across Asia Pacific. - Since inception, over US $5.8 million has been granted, funding 133 organizations and 105 projects. - Individual award sizes vary; projects typically span one to two years. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be nonprofit organizations with legal entity status (documentation required). - Organizations must have been established for at least two years at the time of application. - Strong track record of financial stewardship, impactful programming, and commitment to good governance, compliance, and ethics. - Demonstrated understanding of HIV and affected communities. - Strong network, partnership capacity, and collaborative ability. - Projects must be based in at least one of the following territories: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. --- ## Application Process - Applications are submitted online via the [Gilead Grant portal](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/apply-for-grant/), tagging the Asia Pacific Rainbow Grant Program and specifying the relevant focus area. - The Grants Committee reviews proposals based on alignment with Gilead’s mission and focus areas. - Notifications of funding decisions are communicated through the portal. --- ## Additional Information - Focus areas for projects include: - Addressing HIV-related social determinants of health and stigma. - Integrating mental wellness into HIV care. - Uplifting underserved or marginalized populations (e.g., youth, women, migrants, displaced populations). - Projects may leverage digital tools, peer education, capacity building, and innovative outreach. - Supported populations include MSM, transgender people, sex workers, people with substance use, healthcare providers, and general at-risk groups. --- ## External Links - [Program Homepage](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/) - [Apply for Grant](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/apply-for-grant/) - [About the Grant](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/about-the-grant/) - [Impact Report](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/impact-report/) - [Grantees](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/grantees/) - [Press Release](https://www.gileadrainbowgrant.com/press-release/) --- ## Contact Information | Type | Details | |-------------|-----------------------------------------------------| | General | [Contact Gilead Sciences](https://www.gilead.com/contact-us) | | Email | grants@gilead.com | | Phone | +1 (650) 574 3000 |
