Blog- Love is the Cure
Earlier this year, we had the privilege of working with the Elton John AIDS Foundation to help refresh its grant making strategy.

They often face a significantly heightened risk of infection with HIV, and those that are already HIV-positive can suffer disproportionately, due to a toxic combination of poverty, discrimination and poorly-adapted services. In a world that is seeking zero new infections and zero deaths, reaching these "most-at-risk populations" (MARPs) is essential.
