About the Grant

PEOPLE-CENTERED CARE EMBODIES THE GILEAD ASIA PACIFIC RAINBOW GRANT’S FUNDING PHILOSOPHY

Our vision at Gilead is to ensure worldwide access to equitable care.

This starts with understanding the unique barriers that keep people from meaningful, life-changing care.

We are adapting our approach to HIV care to better support people and communities impacted by the disease to fight and end the HIV epidemic.

GILEAD IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO ACCELERATE PROGRESS TOWARDS THE JOINT UNITED NATIONS PROGRAM’S 95-95-95 GOALS ON HIV BY 2025 AS WE SEEK TO EMPOWER UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THAT EXPERIENCE OBSTACLES TO CARE AND HELP PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV (PLHIV) LEAD HEALTHY AND ENRICHING LIVES.

Since 2018, we are proud to have launched the Gilead Asia Pacific Rainbow Grant, and to date have provided a total of more than $4.5 million in funding support to 84 organizations spanning over 112 projects in this region.

Reducing Stigma & Improving Equity

To improve equitable quality of life for PLHIV, varied responses to tackle stigma and discrimination against HIV must be integrated and people-centric.

We are reaching across cultures, languages, and communities to make sure we end the HIV epidemic for everyone, everywhere.
