Fundraising Toolkit A Resource for HIV-Related Community-Based Projects Serving Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender Individuals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

This guide was developed by amfAR’s MSM Initiative to provide fundraising assistance to community-based organizations (CBOs) that provide HIV-related programs and services for gay men, transgender individuals, and other men who sex with men (MSM) in low- and middle-income countries. In this guide, a number of key questions are answered: • Which donors are funding MSM and other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community- based organizations? • Which donors are funding projects in particular geographic areas? • What kinds of grants are these donors making? • What kinds of programs and projects are being funded by these grants? • Whom do I contact and how does my organization apply for funding? The guide offers information about who is funding MSM/LGBT groups, snapshots of what those grant programs look like, how to approach funders, and what projects those grant makers have supported in the past.
