Aggregate Statistics
As a means of establishing a broad picture of HIV/AIDS grantmaking, the following
section outlines philanthropic aggregates on HIV/AIDS philanthropy. The data has
been compiled based on the latest findings from FCAA's research and data from the
Foundation Center. Empty boxes indicate information that is not available or an
inapplicable category.HIV/AIDS Funders of 2000
As part of this research project, FCAA attempted to determine the top twenty-five U.S
based HIV/AIDS grantmakers for the year 2000.55 This list represents the most current
information available to FCAA.
In order to determine the top AIDS funders, foundation websites and annual reportswere carefully examined to calculate the total dollar amount of AIDS-related grants
issued in 2000. In addition, the Foundation Center’s top fifty HIV/AIDS grantmakers list
was used as the starting point for and integrated into the analysis.56 After having
examined all available sources, FCAA contacted the largest foundations and checked
the grant levels. The following dollar amounts indicate committed HIV/AIDS grant
money in 2000, some of which has not necessarily been paid out, as many grants are
multi-year grants.The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation committed $27.2 million in 2000 to HIV/AIDS policy and
public education activities and projects (includes both domestic and international work) and to South
Africa, including loveLife. This figure is likely an underestimate because, as an operating foundation,
Kaiser does a significant amount of HIV/AIDS work that is integrated throughout the Foundation that is
not always categorized as such or assessed a dollar value (e.g. the Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report and
Kaiser's HIV-related webcasts).
58 The figure of $1.8 million for year 2000 HIV/AIDS funding is for the U.S. Elton John AIDS Foundation.
There is also a British-based Elton John Foundation which makes grants separately and thus is not part of
this list. The British component of the Elton John AIDS Foundation made HIV/AIDS grants totaling
$2,596,000 in 2000.
