We have organised our growing library of publications and tools to better serve the sex worker-led movement, funders, and allies. We have highlighted key topics that intersect with our work including participatory grantmaking, donor finders, and other work contributed from regional networks, sex worker funders, and other organisations that support sex worker rights.
Their data spotlight – HIV Philanthropy for Sex Workers – was featured in the 2019 Spring Funder Forum in which FOSTA-SESTA’s impact on sex workers’ ability to self-organise and self-fund was discussed by sex worker leadership at HIPS and Colective Intercultural TRANSgradiendo.
View“One of the main findings, as detailed in the recent FCAA and Elton John AIDS Foundation “Converging Epidemics: COVID-19, HIV & Inequality” report, was that HIV-related intermediary funders are best positioned to provide flexible, strategic support for the most critical needs of community members and community-led groups working at the intersection of HIV, human rights and racial justice.
The purpose of this follow-up briefing paper is to help make the case for greater investment in HIV-related intermediaries, particularly those that are community-rooted and community-led.
It explores their role, added value and impact, and key challenges and needs. It also looks at the strategic and practical considerations that donors who currently support intermediaries take into account when developing relationships with their intermediary partners.
Finally, this briefing paper also offers new benchmark data to contextualize the level of HIV-related philanthropy moving to intermediary and community-rooted funding organizations.
We hope that the case studies and insights from interviews conducted and data analyzed for this paper will encourage donors — whether public or private, large or small — to invest in community-rooted funders and/or adopt some of the community-rooted practices described within.
A series of recommendations for putting this into practice is included at the conclusion of this briefing paper.”

This marks the 20th annual resource tracking publication from Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) on philanthropic support to address HIV and AIDS. The report relies on grants lists submitted directly by 72 funders (representing 92% of the total HIV-related philanthropic funding tracked by FCAA), as well as publicly sourced grants information from funder websites, grants databases, annual reports, U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 returns, and Candid’s Foundation Maps grants database (representing the remaining 8% of funding in the report). This report specifically captures HIV-related funding from philanthropic organizations around the world; it excludes any government funding to address HIV and AIDS, including domestic government, bilateral, and multilateral support.
