The Robert Carr Fund is a critical partner to communities most inadequately served by the health system and most impacted by the funding cuts and political shifts. In this moment, if you could speak directly to donors and policy makers what would you say? Comment below 👇 👇 👇

Funding cuts are forcing community-led organisations to scale back or shut down, putting the HIV response at risk. Core, flexible support keeps communities going. Read our 2022–2024 Grant Cycle Report: robertcarrfund.org/rcf-grant-cy... how core funding helps communities. #WorldAIDSDay2025

Community-led advocacy ensures that the most inadequately served communities get the services they deserve and need. Enabling ALL communities to access the services that are needed. Core, flexible funding is not optional.
