FCAA recently encouraged emergining intermediary and community-rooted funding organizations to consider becoming members, and now offer an entry level membership payment for those organizations. Learn more in the membership application.
We also encourage grant makers from other areas (e.g. reproductive health, human rights, social justice, LGBTQI issues, etc.) whose work intersects with the myriad issues surrounding HIV and AIDS to join us.
WHY JOIN?
As member-supporters of FCAA, you have the opportunity to meet and learn from your peers. We believe that informing and connecting you with your colleagues will lead to more effective and responsive grantmaking, and thus, an improved global response. Our impact has been clearly demonstrated — HIV-related philanthropy has grown from just over $200,000 26 years ago to more than $600,000,000 annually today, in part because of FCAA’s work. In fact, more than 45 philanthropic organizations currently support FCAA as members. In 2020, those collective organizations accounted for roughly 60% of total HIV-related philanthropy.
Institutional membership in FCAA includes the following benefits, available for an unlimited number of staff:
