ACE Technology Fund Requests

 

One CBO recipient said, "Thank you all for your great efforts in helping our Health Initiatives program reach out to the HIV/AIDS community with the technology required to better serve them and their needs.  We have already begun to experience the impact of the funding on our network.  The effect of Spam, spyware, virus, worms, Trojan horses, and other unwanted intrusions have considerably reduced on our network making it more easier to work and to access online tools." 

For the remainder of this grant year, ACE is able to provide an additional 4 Technology Fund grants.  If your agency has not yet applied and you would like to do so, please contact Esther Choe at echoe@phmc.org.
