Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 - Mission | THE ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION (EJAF) WORKS TO ACHIEVE AN AIDS-FREE GENERATION THROUGH INNOVATIVE HIV PREVENTION PROGRAMS, EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH HIV/AIDS, AND DIRECT TREATMENT, CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, THE AMERICAS, THE CARIBBEAN AND OTHERS. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 - Program Service Accomplishments | The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) supports community-based prevention programs, harm reduction programs, public education to reduce the stigma of HIV/AIDS, advocacy to improve AIDS-related public policy, and direct services to persons living with HIV/AIDS, especially populations with special needs. Direct services include HIV/AIDS-related medical and mental health treatment, testing and counseling, assisted living, social service coordination, and legal aid. EJAF works in collaboration with other like-minded organizations to fund cutting-edge, community-centered work. EJAF's grant-making initiatives strategically target key regions and populations that are poorly served by current prevention efforts and most at risk of infection. The Foundation's grant-making priorities include: critically under-funded communities of (1) the Caribbean, (2) the Southern United States and major urban areas across the U.S. that are significantly impacted by HIV/AIDS; highly impacted populations such as (3) people living with HIV/AIDS, (4) gay and bisexual men and transgender individuals, (5) Black Americans, (6) people who inject drugs, (7) people who are or have been incarcerated, (8) women and girls, and (9) adolescents and young adults. Finally, many of the grants awarded by EJAF can be classified under more than one of these priority areas (i.e., LGBT youth, Black Americans in the rural South, gay injection drug users, Black gay men, etc.). For reporting purposes, EJAF categorizes its grant-making as Domestic (programs conducted in the United States) or International (programs conducted in Outside the United States). Total Domestic Grants awarded: $6,198,900 Total International Grants awarded: $625,000 2014 Grant-making Priorities: During 2014, EJAF awarded 108 grants to charitable organizations for a total investment of more than $6.8 million focused on the following priorities: 1. The Caribbean: Investments focused on Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. * In 2014, EJAF invested $822,000 through eight grants in the Caribbean. * Haiti was the focus of most of this investment ($592,000 in three grants) for health services, LGBT community organizing, and prisoner health outreach and linkage to care. As a result: * During the past ten years, the number of HIV-positive Haitians accessing HIV treatment has increased from 5,000 people to 63,000, and * The number of pregnant women receiving full prenatal care, with HIV testing and treatment, has increased by 25%. 2. The United States: Investments focused on the Deep South and major urban centers. * In 2014, EJAF invested $ 2.32 million in 45 grants to organizations working in the southern U.S., with the largest numbers of grants going to organizations in Atlanta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, and Jackson, Mississippi. * In 2014, EJAF invested $ 1.96 million in 45 grants to organizations working in major urban centers of the US, with the largest numbers of grants going to organizations in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, DC. As a result: * In both the southern U.S. and in major urban centers of the U.S, dozens of organizations were supported to improve health services, legal services and human rights advocacy, and social and economic support services. * The resulting pilot programs, scaled-up programming, and advocacy for improved government policies and funding have helped paved the way for discussions in many locations about how to make sustained progress in reducing new HIV infections and ultimately ending the HIV epidemic. 3. People living with HIV are central to all efforts to prevent, treat, and end HIV and are the focus of more than half of EJAF grants with over $3 million invested during 2014. 4. Gay and bisexual men and transgender people comprise over half of all people infected with HIV in the U.S. and a major part of the epidemic in the Caribbean. More than half of EJAF grants focus on this populations with over $3 million invested during 2014. 5. Black Americans (i.e., of African and Caribbean heritage) account for nearly half of the HIV epidemic in the U.S. and nearly the entire HIV epidemic in the Caribbean. More than half of EJAF grants are focused on Black women and men with over $3 million invested during 2014. 6. People who inject drugs account for 12% of new HIV infections in the United States with half of these injection drug users being Black Americans, one-third women, and one-third gay or bisexual men or transgender. EJAF awarded 55 grants to programs focused on this population during 2014, accounting for 18% of EJAF funding. 7. People who are or have been incarcerated are 14% of all people living with HIV in the United States and possibly a similar proportion in the Caribbean. During 2014, 10% of EJAF funding was invested in programs for this population. 8. Women and girls are 29% of all people living with HIV in the United States and half of all people living with HIV in the Caribbean. More than one in five of EJAF's 2014 grantees worked with this population, representing over $2 million in EJAF funding. 9. Adolescents and young adults account for 20% of new HIV infections every year in the United States and over half of new infections in the Caribbean. One in five 2014 EJAF grantees focused on young people, representing more than $1.1 million in EJAF funding. |

Effective January 1, 2014, the Foundation changed its basis of accounting to U.S. GAAP. The new accounting basis was adopted because the Foundation believes the accrual basis of accounting provides a more meaningful presentation of its financial position. |
