Community Grants
Each year, the AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City responds to a number of requests for community grants through a Request for Applications process. Monies for grant awards are raised through AIDS Walk Kansas City and various other fundraising activities on behalf of the AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City (ASF) and are based on a percentage of total funds raised. Later this year we will be soliciting applications from organizations providing innovative, direct-service projects including, but not limited to, HIV/AIDS education, prevention, advocacy, intervention, and day-to-day support. Grant requests are only accepted once a year. Grant Application Forms and other helpful information will be available to download later this year.
About Community Grants
