To be eligible for an award, applicants must adhere to the following:

- Location – Only organizations located and operating in the United States, or all U.S. Territories may apply.
- Organizational Viability – Organizations should be financially secure with or without grant funds. This grant is not intended to help start new organizations or serve as a replacement for discontinued funding.
- Budget Parameters – Organizations submitting a Pre-Application should have an annual operating budget that does not exceed $1 million. Note: This parameter applies to the applicant organization, not the fiscal sponsor; the fiscal sponsor can have an annual operating budget exceeding $1 million.
- Representation of PLHIV – Representation of people living with HIV at the applicant organization is required. Strong representation tables (linked on the last page) show a commitment to building PLHIV leadership at all staffing levels and should reflect the intersections of the communities served. Organizations that do not have PLHIV will not be considered for funding.
