Crusaid in successful match-fund appeal

Howard Lake | 16 March 2004 | News

Crusaid, the fundraising organisation and independent grant maker for HIV/AIDS, will be able to assist up to 350 applicants to the Hardship Fund following a successful match-fund appeal run by the charity and the Derek Butler Trust.

Following the launch in September 2003 of the “Poverty and HIV” report at the House of Commons, Crusaid established a targeted appeal to raise funds which would be ring-fenced to assist people living in poverty as a result of a positive HIV diagnosis.

Crusaid supporters were mailed informing them that for every pound raised through the direct appeal, the Derek Butler Trust would provide an additional £1 in match-funding. As a result of the campaign, £50,000 has now been raised which will be entirely directed into the Hardship Fund, helping some of the poorest people cope while living with the virus.
