AIDS United Propels Fight to End HIV in Southern U.S. with Major Grants to NCAAN & Coalition Partners

Since 2010, AIDS United has been investing in the North Carolina AIDS Action Network (NCAAN), providing us with essential financial resources to advance responsible HIV prevention and treatment policies and reduce HIV-related stigma in our state.

We are hugely excited to share the news that AIDS United has made its largest investment in NCAAN to date as part of the 2012-13 Southern REACH grant program. We're honored to be selected - and we're also deeply appreciative of AIDS United's strong investment in North Carolina and across the South.

Other recipients in North Carolina include coalition partners Duke AIDS Legal Project, Legal Services of Southern Piedmont, NC Harm Reduction Coalition, Regional AIDS Interfaith Network, Tri-County Community Health Council, and Western North Carolina AIDS Project.


Please join us in expressing our gratitude to AIDS United and in congratulating all the Southern REACH recipients, especially our local heroes from North Carolina, by posting a quick note on our Facebook wall & sharing the great news with your friends.

The mission of AIDS United is to end the AIDS epidemic in the United States. The Southern REACH (Regional Expansion of Access and Capacity to Address HIV/AIDS) initiative is funded by the Ford Foundation and supports the development and expansion of programs that seek to achieve social change, shape responsible HIV/AIDS public policy, and/or respond to the underlying legal, political, and systemic barriers contributing to disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS in the Southern United States.
