In nine countries where law and stigma conspire to push trans and MSM communities to the margins of healthcare, the Dutch foundation Aidsfonds has opened a €2 million funding window — the ActHIVate Fund — to sustain the community-led organizations that reach where formal systems cannot. Announced in late September 2026, this first tranche of a four-year, €4 million commitment reflects a quiet but consequential conviction: that the organizations themselves, not merely the programs they run, must be kept alive. Applications close October 25, and the work, if funded, begins in April 2027.
