Founded in 1987, the Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) mission is to mobilize the leadership, ideas, and resources of funders to eradicate the global HIV/AIDS pandemic and to address its social and economic dimensions. FCAA envisions a philanthropic sector that works collaboratively, transparently, and urgently to ensure focused and robust funding for: - Evidence-based interventions in the treatment and prevention of HIV infection; - Advocacy, research, and exploration of new methods to hasten the end of AIDS; and, - Investments that address the social inequities, health disparities, and human rights abuses that fueled the spread the epidemic. FCAA commemorated its 25th anniversary in 2012 with a new strategic plan to expand and strengthen the philanthropic response to AIDS. FCAA will work to grow the pool of philanthropic resources focused on HIV/AIDS by working with key partners in health and social justice philanthropy to identify points of leverage and opportunities for synergy. FCAA will also continue to convene public and private AIDS funders -- providing time, space, and resources -- to build a stronger network of increasingly collaborative funders, utilizing a coordinated and data-driven investment approach to leverage the opportunities presently available and to continue to identify new, efficient, and impactful approaches to end the AIDS epidemic. FCAA membership is comprised of U.S.- and E.U.-based private funders, including: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, the M.A.C AIDS Fund, Elton John AIDS Foundation (U.S. and U.K.), Comic Relief, Aids Fonds, Levi Strauss Foundation and ViiV Healthcare, among others. This important community was responsible for disbursing $592 million in support for global HIV/AIDS efforts in 2013. FCAA employees and consultants operate from D.C., Philadelphia, Spokane, New York and Boston.
