Grant Giving
How it Works
The Foundation gives out grants twice a year – each grant is a maximum of $12,000. The grants are for projects that last up to twelve months and grant winners must be under the age of 27 in order to apply. Applicants do not need to work for an organization, but do require to be partnered with a non-for-profit organization.
From all the applications received, the Grant Manager will select a shortlist which is then presented to a Proposal Committee – this committee is composed of select Board members, the Executive Director and the Grant Manager. The Proposal Committee selects finalists for final approval by the entire Board of Directors.
Grant winners receive the first half of their grant at the start of the project and the second half after they submit a successful mid-term report. On top of financial support, the Foundation also provides a small fund to buy technical equipment, and also sends two people on a training course designed specifically for them. In addition to the Grant Manager’s support, grantees also are provided with a local mentor to help with their activities. All grants are for one year and grantees can re-apply for a three-year grant if the project proves to be successful.
How We're Funded
3 Main Ways
There are endless creative ways we can raise funds for Staying Alive. The Foundation’s different assets can be tapped into to produce compelling campaigns around a variety of issues around HIV/AIDS. In the past, the Foundation has been funded primarily through three ways:
1. Cause Related Campaigns and Programs:
SAF can work with another company to create and execute a HIV awareness campaign that will help address issues of young people today, as well as help raise funds for the Foundation’s ongoing efforts.
A fantastic example of a successful partnership is between SAF and The Body Shop. Working together during 2007/8, over $1.5m has been raised for the Foundation.

2. Cash Donations:
Financial resources are needed to support the Foundation’s mission and to help aid in delivering grants. Business is becoming a significant contributor to the HIV/AIDS prevention by donating financial resources for these lifesaving programs of prevention, education and awareness campaigns to young people around the world.
3. In-Kind Contributions:
Business expertise, services and materials are needed in every aspect of the Foundation’s work. In-kind contributions from businesses can include the donation of advisory services, seconded personnel, printing, equipment, supplies and access to distribution networks. Companies may offer logistical support and networks for the distribution of vital goods such as condoms and educational materials.
