About the Foundation
The Staying Alive Foundation is a US-based 501c3 public charity hosted by MTV. Twice yearly, the Foundation presents the Staying Alive Awards: small grants that support innovative projects in schools, youth centers, and clubs using radio, TV, print, on-line and personal interactions that reach at-risk youth and protect them from the multiple threats posed by HIV and AIDS.
Since it was established in 2005, the Foundation has made Awards to young people all over the world, mostly in developing countries where AIDS is hitting hardest. The Foundation's mandate to support individuals fighting AIDS on the frontlines is an unusual grant-making strategy that is showing extraordinary results as more and more young Award winners become HIV-prevention leaders in their communities.
