Our Supporters
The work and accomplishments of the Pacific AIDS Network would not be possible without the generous contributions of our funders, sponsors and partners.
Notably, we wish to acknowledge:
The CIHR Centre for REACH in HIV/AIDS
Thank you to the CIHR Centre for REACH in HIV/AIDS (REACH) for their ongoing financial and technical support for BC’s Positive Living, Positive Homes community based research initiative.
REACH is also PAN’s ongoing partner and funder for the Community-Based Research Manager Priority Program for BC, which you can learn more about by clicking here.
Merck Frosst has provided generous financial support for trainings associated with the Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI) here in BC. Merck has been providing key financial support for the PLDI since our inaugural Core PHA Leadership training took place in September 2009. Five training events later, thanks to Merck Frosst for their vital assistance in helping to bring the leadership training to persons living with HIV/AIDS in this province!
ViiV Healthcare in partnership with Shire Canada
In 2010 ViiV-Shire funded the Trainer-in-Training Program within the Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI). These monies allowed PAN and the OAN to support two BC PHAs in becoming fully certified as trainers for the PLDI; and to begin the process of bringing additional folks on in both provinces as “trainers-in-training”.
In 2012 ViiV-Shire is providing financial support for the Alumni Initiative within the PLDI. This will allow PAN to hire two apprentices who are graduates of the leadership development program, to develop a web-based platform and PLDI graduate forum. This will facilitate PLDI graduates in connecting with one another and supporting each other in their leadership roles at their organizations and within their communities; and to further build upon their existing volunteer and employable skills sets.
Thanks to RBC Foundation for their generous financial contributions to the Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI) in 2011 and 2012.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers Canada Foundation
Thank you to the PriceWaterhouseCoopers Canada Foundation for providing PAN with 2012 Team Leadership Grant. These funds are devoted to supporting training and professional development opportunities for the PHA trainers and “trainers-in-training” within the Positive Leadership Development Institute.
Thanks as well to our government funders:
The Public Health Agency of Canada – AIDS Community Action Program
The Public Health Agency of Canada - Hepatitis C Prevention, Support and Research Program
The Provincial Health Services Authority – HIV/AIDS Program
We greatly appreciate the vision of our government funders and their ongoing commitment to supporting the work of the Network.
