In 2025, devastating cuts to international funding put decades of gains against the HIV epidemic at risk. Our partners across 14 countries in Africa faced impossible choices, but all were able to remain open during this time.

Supporters of our 2025 Emergency Appeal helped ensure they could keep showing up for the communities who rely on them.

Thank you for standing alongside our partners and with us at such a critical moment.

Join us for this special online event as we celebrate 20 years of the SLF's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign!

Twenty years ago, African and Canadian grandmothers came together to spark a global movement rooted in solidarity, care and community.

Now, in lead up to the 26th International AIDS Conference, we're hosting a powerful panel of speakers, featuring grandmother leaders from Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Canada.

They will reflect on the leadership of African grandmothers, international grandmothers’ solidarity, centring the priorities of older women, and shaping the future of the global HIV response.

We’re honoured to be named on the 2026 list, alongside the most influential people shaping the future of giving.

Philanthropy, at its heart, is solidarity. It’s funding the boldest, bravest ideas before anyone else will. It’s standing with the people the world has tried to push aside and refusing to accept that any life is worth less than another.

And that’s exactly what we are committed to doing through ’s mission: to end the AIDS epidemic and ensure that no one is left behind.

So thank you, . And more than anything, thank you to every person who has stood with us along the way.

The fight to end AIDS is far from over. Neither are we.
