MTV Staying Alive Foundation

In May 2009, MTV named The Grassroot Project a Staying Alive Foundation grantee. These awards were given to 30 initiatives across the globe. Since it launched in 1998, MTV’s Staying Alive Campaign is the world’s largest, youth focused, HIV and AIDS prevention campaign. Staying Alive believes that change lies in the hands of young people. “If the dynamics of the HIV epidemic are really to alter, then it is imperative that this generation be informed and empowered.”

District of Columbia Public Schools

In May 2009, The Grassroot Project was named an official partner of Washington DC Public Schools. The Office of Out of School Time extended an offer to support and collaborate on our implementing efforts in middle schools across the city. The District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) is a diverse, urban school district serving students in the nation’s capital. “Situated at the center of national government, our goal is to provide students a quality education that prepares them to become future leaders and productive citizens who are engaged in the life of the community.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington (BGCGW) are committed to “strengthening our youth to beat the odds.” This year we are working with BGCGW to implement our programs in clubhouses across the District.

DC Department of Health

In September 2009, The DC Department of Health named The Grassroot Project one of 15 Effi Barry grantees. The program supports organizations that serve the areas of the District hit hardest by HIV/AIDS, honoring the former First Lady who dedicated her life and career to action on community health disparities in the city, “raising early awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and championing increased resources and capacity in underserved communities.”
