Dear Colleagues,
On May 16th our sister organization, the European HIV/AIDS Funders Group (EFG), announced they would be merging operations with us to streamline efforts and increase networking among US and EU funders, effective immediately.
As an emerging global leader in AIDS philanthropy, FCAA will expand its coverage and programming to include both U.S. and E.U.-based members. Importantly, FCAA's mission will remain the same: to mobilize the leadership, ideas, and resources of funders to eradicate the HIV/AIDS pandemic - domestically and internationally - and to address its social and economic dimensions.
This merger is an outgrowth of more than a decade-long collaboration between EFG and FCAA, including, most notably, our respective resource tracking efforts, and the now annual funder's reception at the International AIDS Conference. Importantly, this merger will create a renewed opportunity for partnership and sharing between U.S. and E.U. funders. Moving forward, there will be an increased effort to include the perspectives of E.U.-based funders within FCAA programming. Over the next few months you will also begin to see updates to www.fcaaids.org as we accommodate our new members.
For our newest colleagues, please stay tuned for more emails from FCAA that will outline upcoming programming opportunities. Consider sharing a best practice or grantee story in FCAA's blog. Please let us know what we can do to keep you better informed and connected. Send questions and or ideas to FCAA Program & Communications Director Sarah Hamilton at sarah@fcaaids.org.
Please join us in welcoming our new E.U. colleagues to the FCAA community!
We recommend you revisit last year's resource tracking publication -
