We are very pleased to announce the recipients of Philly AIDS Thrift’s Grants Awards for winter 2014/15. We will be funding proposals submitted by eight agencies with $73,000 awarded in total. We presented the checks to the agencies onstage at GayBingo on Saturday, March 21st.
The eight proposals selected for the grants this time around are GALAEI’s Positivo program; AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania’s Planning Ahead initiative; support for meals and nutritional counseling for the HIV program at Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutritional Alliance; Project Hope at Family Services of Montgomery County; the Michael Taylor Fund at Action AIDS; the Washington West Project at Mazzoni Center. HIV-prevention programming for LGBTQ youth at The Attic Youth Center, and to Project ONE at Family Services of Chester County.
We’re thrilled to be helping support all these invaluable programs.
A Huge THANK YOU to all the Shoppers, Donors and Volunteers at our main store, Big PAT, and at PhillyAIDSThrift@Giovanni’s Room for making this all possible.
