CORE Knowledge Hub Webinar # 6 | How to Find Money for Your Local HIV Organisation: Tips from a Community-Based Perspective

CORE is pleased to invite you to the webinar “How to Find Money for Your Local HIV Organisation: Tips from a Community-Based Perspective”, on 12 November 2025 at 12:00 – 13:40 CET.

About the webinar

As local HIV organisations, we face a unique dual challenge: battling stigma and discrimination while navigating severe financial hurdles. In many regions, government support is dwindling or non-existent, especially for services focused on comprehensive sexual health and key populations.

This essential webinar moves beyond theory, delivering fundraising strategies specifically tailored to the realities faced by HIV community-based organisations. We combine foundational principles with real-life, proven success stories shared by European CBOs who have successfully sustained their vital work.

You will leave this session not just with inspiration, but with the practical steps and confidence needed to build economic resilience for your organisation.

What You Will Learn

• Tailored Basics: Understand core fundraising principles customised for the unique landscape of local HIV organisations.
• Proven Best Practices: Gain direct insights from European community-based organisations on the methods they use to sustain and grow their services.
• Actionable Planning: Learn to develop an initial, practical fundraising plan that you can immediately apply to your specific local context.

Why You Should Attend

By the end of this session, you will:

• Have a clear, foundational understanding of the principles that drive successful fundraising.
• Be inspired and empowered by real-life case studies from your peers.
• Feel confident to start drafting a practical, sustainable fundraising plan for your own organisation.

About the CORE project

The CORE Project (“Community Response to End Inequalities”) aims to reduce inequalities by promoting, strengthening and integrating the community responses that have proven key in bringing services closer to persons who would benefit most but face inadequate access, in particular countries where these responses are still lacking. This will happen through capacity building, networking, and the exchange of good practice and innovative approaches, as well as through a proactive outreach and engagement of relevant stakeholders, while addressing legal, policy, and structural issues to promote integration of these approaches into disease prevention and health promotion strategies and systems.

The CORE project will build on and intensify collaboration of regional networks and national and local organisations of people living with HIV, key populations, and service provider organisations. It will use, adapt, and disseminate existing national, regional, and global good practice approaches and tools from across key populations and disease areas, and provide platforms for exchange.

CORE Knowledge Hub – Community Skill Boosting Sessions

The Knowledge Hub is introducing a series of meetings aimed at sharing best practices in community health services for communities most affected by HIV, TB, viral hepatitis and STIs. The Hub will also be a place where community organisations and partners can share experience and discuss solutions to issues encountered. The meetings will be recorded for post-event sharing on the CORE website.

The Knowledge Hub consists of Webinars organised by the European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG), Correlation European Harm Reduction Network (C-EHRN), European Sex Workers Alliance (ESWA) and Africa Advocacy Foundation (Work Package 6) and Workshops co-organised Deutsche Aidshilfe (DAH), C-EHRN, ESWA, and Africa Advocacy Foundation (Work Package 4).
