What kind of organizations can apply to the Staying Alive Foundation (SAF)?
The SAF supports youth-led organisations (led by young people between the ages of 15 and 27) that work in the field of HIV prevention. If you apply as an informal group (not registered as an NGO), you should have the support of an associate organisation as we will not deposit funds into an individual’s account. If you apply as an organisation, the project that you seek to get funds for should be managed by a young person who is not older than 27 years old and the organisation has to be youth-led in general. We seek to support organisations that are start-ups and do not have much support, financial or otherwise. We are much more likely to fund an organisation that has little or no existing funding to date, rather than those who already have several funders on board.
