The Philadelphia AIDS Thrift 2024 grant program funds HIV/AIDS service organizations in the Delaware Valley, supporting those directly affected by HIV/AIDS. Proceeds from donations to the Philadelphia AIDS Thrift store primarily benefit the AIDS Fund, which distributes money to local HIV/AIDS organizations. This grant program offers additional funding, typically ranging from $1,500 to $10,000, with an average grant of $5,000.
Eligible applicants must provide direct services to those impacted by HIV/AIDS, be non-profit or have non-profit sponsorship, and operate within the Delaware Valley, covering specific counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Excluded funding requests include capital campaigns, salaries, and new construction. Only one application per organization is allowed, and recipients may receive only one grant per year.
Applications, due by November 30, 2024, require an online form and supporting documents, including IRS Form 990, a tax determination letter, and a strategic plan if available. Sponsored organizations must include sponsorship documentation. Incomplete submissions are disqualified. The Philadelphia AIDS Thrift Funding Committee will review applications in December, with winners notified by January 15, 2025, and public announcements by January 31, 2025.
