10 years ago, funders, UNAIDS, and civil society partners came together to launch the Robert Carr Fund at the AIDS2012 conference in Washington D.C. The Fund was designed to bridge a funding gap and provide sustainable, multi-year support for regional and global HIV networks.
Today, RCF is the world’s leading international fund focused on supporting the critical role of civil society and community-led networks in the HIV response.
Please join our founding members, strategic partners, funders, and grantee partners in celebrating the Fund’s 10th anniversary and its legacy of investing in communities.
