Launched in 2018 by Gilead Sciences, the Asia Pacific Rainbow Grant supports community-led projects for HIV care, education, and awareness. Its people-centered funding philosophy focuses on communities with unmet needs, helping people living with HIV and people at risk overcome barriers to care and achieve a better quality of life.
Guided by Empower, Engage, and Partner, the program supports community capacity and partnerships to address stigma, discrimination, and unequal access to healthcare. Its goals align with the UNAIDS 95-95-95 and Zero Discrimination targets. The published 2023 focus areas emphasize HIV-related social determinants of health, mental wellness integrated into HIV care, and underserved populations being left behind, including young people, women, migrants, displaced populations, and vulnerable communities.
