The Frontline AIDS Emergency Response Grant is a vital funding opportunity for nonprofit organizations working to address HIV-related human rights challenges. With grants of up to $15,000 USD available, this fund aims to support projects and programs that protect, adapt, or advance the rights of marginalized communities affected by HIV.
The focus of this grant is on supporting the following marginalized groups: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQIA+) individuals, sex workers, people living with HIV, and people who use drugs. By providing emergency financial grants, the fund aims to help organizations respond to new threats and seize unanticipated opportunities in their HIV-related human rights work.
In addition to financial support, the Frontline AIDS Emergency Response Grant also offers assistance in strengthening the capacity of organizations to effectively respond to emergency situations. This includes documenting and sharing best practices to influence decisions made by governments and donors.
Since its establishment in 2016, the Rapid Response Fund has granted over $4.3 million USD to community-led organizations across 45 countries. This support has made a significant impact, benefiting tens of thousands of marginalized individuals affected by HIV.
To be eligible for this grant, organizations must be based in one of the 24 eligible countries and have an annual income of less than $1 million USD. They must also have implemented HIV-related human rights projects focused on marginalized communities within the past 12 months.

Overview:
The Rapid Response Fund is our flagship fund supporting marginalised communities to tackle HIV-related human rights challenges.
What are Emergency Response Grants?
Emergency Response Grants enable organisations to respond to new threats and unanticipated opportunities. They are to protect, adapt, or advance HIV-related human rights work supporting marginalised communities
We focus on marginalised groups affected by HIV: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBT+) people; sex workers; people living with HIV; and people who use drugs.
The fund helps in three ways:
Providing emergency financial grants to organisations.
Supporting organisations to strengthen their capacity for emergency human rights response work.
Documenting and sharing best practice, to help influence decisions by governments and donors.
What has the Rapid Response Fund achieved?
Established in 2016, the Rapid Response Fund has so far granted $4.3 million USD in more than 500 grants direct to community-led organisations working across 45 countries. This emergency support has helped tens of thousands of people who are marginalised and affected by HIV.
After a period of review and consultation, the Rapid Response Fund relaunched in October 2021 with a new model, including more support for partner organisations to operate their own emergency response funds as a way to build on the lessons of the Rapid Response Fund and REAct.
What support is available?
Emergency response grants of up to $15,000 USD are available to organisations across 24 countries, led by or working closely with LGBT+ people, sex workers, people living with HIV and people who use drugs.
Grants are for responses to new threats to HIV-related human rights work, or to seize unanticipated opportunities for change.
