Funding Programs

AIDS Community Action Program

The AIDS Community Action Program (ACAP) supports a community response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.  ACAP provides both operational and regional project funding to community-based AIDS organizations in four program areas:

• Prevention education
• Creation of supportive environments for those infected with and affected by HIV / AIDS
• The strengthening of community-based organizations
• Health promotion for people living with HIV / AIDS

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) periodically conducts solicitations for projects funded through this program.

Atlantic Canada has eight AIDS organizations that receive ACAP operational funding.
