Central Carolina Community Foundation

Central Carolina AIDS Partnership Grants

Central Carolina Community Foundation was selected in 2009 as the first AIDS United Fund Partner in South Carolina and received challenge grants to support local grantmaking for HIV/AIDS prevention programs.

To manage the HIV/AIDS prevention grant, the Foundation formed the Central Carolina AIDS Partnership (CCAP).  In addition to the support from AIDS United and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, CCAP is supported by several local organizations including the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, New Morning Foundation and the AIDS Benefit Foundation. 

The Partnership is overseen by an Advisory Committee that makes recommendations regarding policies, programs and grants. The Board of Directors of Central Carolina Community Foundation reviews these recommendations and makes the final approval of grants.  Grants are awarded on an annual basis.

If you have questions, please contact Jo Bull, Chief Operating Officer, at 803.254.5601 x326 or jo@yourfoundation.org.

Below are all the necessary documents for the CCAP Grants.  Please Note: Some of these forms require you to enable macros.  If a security box pops up, click "enable macros".
