Four Agencies in Indianapolis Get HIV/AIDS Funding

The Indiana AIDS Fund awarded $85,000 for 13 agencies across the state to provide emergency housing, transportation, food and/or medical care to people with HIV/AIDS. Four Indianapolis agencies will share the grants. This is the second year the fund has awarded the Gregory R. Powers Direct Emergency Financial Assistance grants. Last year, the fund distributed $39,100. "Since we were able to more than double the grant amount in only our second year, more clients will get access to support they desperately need," said Keith Norwalk, president of Indiana AIDS Fund. The Indianapolis recipients are Clarian Health Partners Life Care ($12,000); the Damien Center ($12,000); Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church Foundation ($2,500); and Wishard Memorial Hospital Infectious Disease Clinic ($7,500). Founded in 1994, the Indiana AIDS Fund is the state’s largest private funder of HIV/AIDS programs.
