📅 Deadline: 30 September 2025

Are you an NGO committed to promoting health equity and social justice for the LGBTQ+ community? The Health Care Advocates International (HCAI) Fund is now accepting applications to support organizations working to dismantle discrimination and promote the overall well-being—physical, mental, and emotional—of LGBTQ+ individuals.

This funding opportunity is more than a one-time grant—it’s a potential long-term partnership with U.S.-based philanthropy networks that are increasingly investing in global movements through direct collaboration and shared values.

💡 What Is the HCAI Fund?

The Health Care Advocates International Fund is a philanthropic initiative led by Health Care Advocates International, a U.S.-based non-profit organization devoted to LGBTQ+ health, advocacy, education, and treatment. As both a medical and advocacy organization, HCAI serves as a comprehensive resource for individuals and communities that face marginalization, particularly in accessing equitable care and community services.

The Fund’s mission is clear: to financially support non-profits that directly improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people by addressing urgent needs, combating stigma, ensuring access to care, and promoting education and equality. Whether your organization tackles housing insecurity, provides HIV support services, or fights workplace discrimination, your work may be eligible for this transformative funding.

✅ Funding Priorities

Priority will be given to organizations that:

• Present clear and realistic budgets that align with the purpose of the donation

• Submit well-documented, goal-driven proposals with measurable outcomes

• Have proven experience delivering programs that align with HCAI’s mission

• Demonstrate the ability to sustain programming beyond HCAI funding

• Exhibit innovation and community trust in delivering LGBTQ+ services

📌 Areas of Focus

Eligible proposals should address one or more of the following:

• Basic Needs Support: e.g., food security, housing assistance, homelessness prevention

• Mental Health Services: tailored to LGBTQ+ youth, adults, and communities

• Substance Abuse Treatment: especially where addiction intersects with other medical needs

• Equality & Inclusion: access to education, employment, housing, and healthcare

• HIV/AIDS Programs: prevention, education, testing, treatment, and support

• Anti-Discrimination & Stigma Reduction: community-based education and empowerment
