The Life Foundation has received $424,500 in grants to fund its various HIV care and prevention services.
The largest grant is $250,000 from the U.S. Office of Minority Health. The three-year grant will be used to address the needs of Native Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Islander communities on O'ahu at risk for HIV and/or who are HIV-positive. The Life Foundation plans to target services toward underserved populations on the Leeward Coast and homeless people.
