Deadline: 21 August 2017
AIDS United is seeking applications for its Sector Transformation Initiative. The Affordable Care Act, evolving funding streams, and new paradigms that increase focus on biomedical approaches to HIV and integration of services with broader health systems, have many HIV/AIDS service organizations facing critical questions, opportunities, and challenges. It’s a brave new world — and it can be a complicated one to navigate. That’s where the AIDS United Sector Transformation initiative can help!
Change can be scary but adapting to change is important in life and in business. Managing change, however, can’t happen thoughtfully without the right resources. That’s why AIDS United is here to help.
AIDS United’s Sector Transformation initiative can help applicant’s organization:
- integrate new services,
- initiate a new business model,
- develop new strategic partnerships,
- align opportunities, consolidate services, and much more.
Funding Information
AIDS United’s Sector Transformation initiative offers the following services to support ASOs and CBOs undergoing change:
- Cash grants: Grant funding of up to $50,000 is available to organizations actively engaged in organizational restructuring activities, and may include staff, program, consultants, and legal expenses.
- Technical assistance: AIDS United offers specialized TA for transformational activities such as board development, media planning, cultural integration, succession planning, and more.
- Site Visits to Explore New Models: When going through restructuring, it can be helpful for an organization to visit another entity that represents a successful model of similar restructuring. AIDS United offers up to $4,000 in travel expenses for two senior staff members for such visits, called “reverse site visits.”
