Call for Application CBO Support Grant The ISEAN-Hivos program is now accepting the next round of grant proposals for the CBO Support Grant for the period October to December 2012. The CBO Support Grant is a small grant that aims to help Community Based Organizations of gay men, men who have sex with men, and transgenders to conduct activities that contribute to the national response to the HIV epidemic affecting MSM and TGs. The CBO Support Grant CANNOT fund direct HIV services (for example, peer education, outreach, condom distribution, voluntary counseling and testing) but it can support advocacies that promote access to HIV services and activities or initiatives that aim to reduce stigma and discrimination against MSM and TGs. Aside from advocacy, the CBO Support Grant may fund organizational activities and research related to HIV and the MSM and TG community. Eligibility: MSM and TG CBOs that are registered or government accredited (i.e. SEC, LGU, School, Barangay) as non-profit organizations implementing programs/projects/activities that address the issues and concerns of males having sex with males, transgenders and HIV are eligible to apply for the CBO Support Grant.
