Program Service Accomplishments Form 990, Part III, Line 4 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: 8,856,500 Total International Grants awarded: 1,040,000 2015 Grant-making Priorities: During 2015, EJAF awarded 139 grants to the charitable organizations for a total investment of more than $9.8 million in grants focused on the following goals: HEALTH AND WELLNESS: EJAF funds HIV-related services and advocacy to help people attain good health. Activities include HIV testing, linking and retaining patients in medical care, syringe exchange services, access to PrEP, and healthcare policy work. RIGHTS: EJAF funds services, community organizing, and advocacy to help people pursue and protect their rights. Examples include education about rights and activism, and provision of legal services. IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE: EJAF funds services, organizing, and advocacy to help people build welcoming and diverse communities that work to lift people out of poverty and provide opportunities for success. Examples include re-entry programs for prisoners, LGBT Community Centers. RESILIENCE: EJAF funds capacity building to strengthen organizations and activism addressing HIV. Examples include general operating support, trainings for advocates and organizational staff, and training for healthcare providers. EJAF focuses its funding efforts to improve the lives of people at greatest risk for HIV infection, prioritizing support for health programming and activism for LGBT people, Black Americans, HIV-positive prisoners and parolees, sex workers, people who use drugs, women, and young people. 1. People living with HIV are central to all efforts to prevent, treat, and end HIV. At least 70 grants specifically supporting people living with HIV. 2. 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. At least 60 grants deliberately served LGBT people. 3. Black women and men (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. At least 70 grants deliberated supported or served Black Americans. 4. 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 being women, and one third being gay or bisexual men or transgender. 46 grants specifically supported the health and rights of people who inject drugs. 5. 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. 4 grants deliberately supported people who are or were incarcerated. 6. 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. 13 grants deliberately supported women and girls. 7. 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. 26 grants supported adolescents and young adults. EJAF follows the evidence about where HIV prevalence is high and targets its investments to those locations as a way to focus its grant making and increase its potential impact. In the Americas, the United States and the Caribbean both have significant HIV epidemics. Haiti, the southern U.S., and major U.S. urban centers all face high rates of HIV and have great potential for progress against the virus. THE CARIBBEAN: EJAF focused investments on Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. CANADA: EJAF invests and is open to investing programs across priorities in Canada. In 2015, EJAF awarded 3 grants to organizations working in Canada. LATIN AMERICA: In 2015, EJAF awarded two grants to organizations working in Mexico. THE UNITED STATES: The majority of EJAFs annual grant making is invested in communities in the United States highly impacted by HIV. In 2015, EJAF awarded $7.4 million in grants for local community organizations and national programs across all thematic priority areas.
