In 2022, the top 20 HIV-related funders—out of 767 total funders tracked—disbursed US$580 million in grants. This accounted for 84% of the total HIV-related philanthropy for that year.

While General Operating/Core Support is not tracked as an intended use category, FCAA analyzed grants utilizing this strategy and found a total of US$72 MILLION in 2022, an impressive 60% INCREASE from 2021.

A look at the HIV epidemic on a global scale reveals some stark inequities in the distribution of philanthropy versus the prevalence of HIV. Despite only 6% of people living with HIV (PLWH) residing in Western & Central Europe and North America, the regions receive roughly US$119 per person living with HIV, whereas regions like Latin America and Asia & the Pacific each receive only US$2 per PLWH from HIV philanthropy.
