Gilead Africa Grants

Gilead Africa Grants support innovative, data-driven projects aimed at enhancing healthcare systems and promoting health equity across Africa. Targeting key areas such as HIV/AIDS and Viral Hepatitis, the grants prioritize community-informed initiatives. Gilead encourages partnerships with nonprofits and patient advocates, focusing on direct programmatic support to address disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Applications are accepted year-round, with a commitment to funding that aligns with local needs and priorities.

NOTE: Grant applications are accepted throughout the year. Keep in mind that you must submit the application at least six weeks before your activity begins, and that it typically takes approximately six to 12 weeks for review.
