• Support programs addressing the impact of HIV/AIDS and the prevention and treatment of cancer in the African American community, focusing on direct services, intervention, testing, counseling, and access to treatment.
• Encourage arts and education programs that serve a core group of children/youth over an extended period, prioritizing organizations with a proven track record and clear programmatic outcomes.
