CHRP/APC Embark on New Partnership

On March 21, 2007 CHRP and the AIDS Partnership California formally embarked on a new partnership to fund community-based efforts to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in California. APC (formerly sponsored by the Northern California Grantmakers) is a collaborative HIV/AIDS grantmaking enterprise currently funded by The Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, The California Healthcare Foundation, and The California Endowment.

APC started as a regional grantmaking fund at Northern California Grantmakers in 1987 and expanded statewide in 2000. The new CHRP/APC partnership will enable both organizations to expand and grow to address the most critical emerging issues in the evolving HIV epidemic. The partnership will leverage the advantages of each program to involve a wider constituency and have a greater impact on the epidemic, and in the communities it affects.

APC will retain its identity as a distinct funding program within CHRP and the existing APC Advisory Committee will continue to provide leadership and guidance to the fund.
