EJAF US Collaboration
with the National AIDS Fund
In 1993, EJAF established
a grant-making collaboration with the National
AIDS Fund (NAF) in order to facilitate the
most cost-effective distribution of grants to
communities and populations most impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Through this partnership, EJAF provides challenge
grants to the National AIDS Fund’s expanding
network of HIV prevention and core programs in
local Community Partnerships nationwide. These
grants are used by Community Partnerships to leverage
an additional $2 locally for every $1 provided
by EJAF.
