Four community-based organizations will each receive $20K to help advance community-level efforts focused on women and HIV/AIDS. The grants are part of the EMPOWERED Community Grants program, which is part of a broader effort to reach women in the U.S about HIV/AIDS.

The EMPOWERED Community Grants Program grantees are:

• Creative Arts Team – Research Foundation of the City University of NY – New York, NY
• Frannie Peabody Center – Portland, Maine
• North Carolina AIDS Action Network – Durham, NC
• SisterLove – Atlanta, GA

218 applications were submitted for four grantee slots, each proposing innovative and impactful women-centered HIV programs. Alicia serves on the Advisory Council for the EMPOWERED Community Grants Program, and was an active participant in the grantee review and selection process.

Congratulations to all of the EMPOWERED Community Grant Winners!
