Opportunity Information: Apply for SSF75018GR
The PEPFAR HIV and AIDS Community Grants opportunity is a U.S. Department of State program run through the U.S. Mission to South Africa that provides small grants to community-based organizations working in South Africa's highest HIV burden areas. The main purpose is to strengthen local, community-led responses to HIV by funding practical, evidence-based activities that reduce new infections, improve care and support for people living with HIV, and address the social and rights-related barriers that often prevent people from accessing services. The program is designed to reach populations most affected by HIV, including people living with HIV (PLHIV), orphans and vulnerable children and youth (OVCY), adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), and other key or priority populations as defined within the national HIV response.
The grant supports a fairly wide range of interventions, as long as they are tied to HIV prevention, care, or support. That includes direct service delivery such as prevention education and outreach, linkage to testing and treatment, adherence support, and community-based support services. It also includes work that strengthens the enabling environment around HIV services, especially efforts that reduce stigma and discrimination and that promote, protect, and respect human rights connected to the HIV response. Another core theme is capacity building for civil society organizations, particularly where stronger systems are necessary to deliver and track HIV outcomes. Examples of eligible capacity-building areas include monitoring and evaluation, case management, and other organizational skills that directly support effective HIV programming.
Funding can cover programmatic costs needed to run these activities. The opportunity explicitly notes that allowable costs may include supplies and materials, staff/personnel, transportation, equipment, furniture, training, and administrative expenses, as long as these costs are connected to the proposed HIV-related activities. Grants can be implemented over one or two years, and applicants may request up to R600,000 as a maximum budget. In the source listing, the award ceiling is also presented as 50,000 (typically shown in U.S. dollars on federal listings), and the program anticipated making around 50 awards under the cited cycle.
Selection is competitive and emphasizes real, local impact. Organizations are expected to show that they have community support, which can be demonstrated through contributions such as local funding, volunteer labor, or in-kind services. Short-listed applicants must also be prepared to lay out clear performance goals, measurable indicators, and project deliverables that can be verified externally. If funded, organizations must monitor and report results in line with PEPFAR reporting requirements, meaning the grant is not only about delivering activities but also about documenting outcomes in a structured way. A major expectation is sustainability: once the grant period ends, the organization should be able to continue the work either independently or by securing ongoing support from the community and/or other donors.
Eligibility is specific. Applicants must be registered in South Africa as an NPO, NPC, or Trust, must have been operating for at least two years, and must serve HIV-affected, HIV-infected, and/or high-risk populations. They must also be implementing in at least one of the 27 designated PEPFAR priority districts. At the same time, the opportunity excludes organizations that are already receiving direct U.S. Government funding or indirect funding as a sub-recipient under a PEPFAR partner (including CDC and USAID funding). It also excludes organizations that received Community Grants funding in the previous grant cycle, which helps spread support across a broader set of community organizations over time.
The eligible districts are spread across multiple provinces and focus on areas with high HIV burden. In the Eastern Cape, eligible districts include Alfred Nzo, Buffalo City, Chris Hani, OR Tambo, and Amatole. In the Free State, Lejweleputswa and Thabo Mofutsanyane are included. In Gauteng, the eligible metros/districts are the City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, and Sedibeng. KwaZulu-Natal includes eThekwini, Ugu, uMgungundlovu, uThukela, uThungulu/King Cetshwayo, Zululand, and Harry Gwala. Limpopo includes Capricorn and Mopani. Mpumalanga includes Ehlanzeni, Gert Sibande, and Nkangala. North West includes Bojanala Platinum, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, and Ngaka Modiri Molema. In the Western Cape, the City of Cape Town is eligible with a specific emphasis on work in townships and informal settlements.
