The Kent Richard Hofmann Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Grants are made semi-annually, to community-based organizations, in support of:

• Care and direct services
• Education
• Research

Grants are made to support developing or established programs, with emphasis on direct benefit to clients or target audiences. Requests from throughout the US are considered, with particular interest in smaller communities and rural areas.

Previous requests receiving serious consideration have included: 

• Requests from locations with a scarcity of available funding;
• Requests for seed money for new projects, programs, or structures;
• Innovative ideas for meeting standard needs.

Applying organizations should have a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. In each grant cycle, a relatively brief grant request is submitted by the applicant. For requests receiving serious consideration in that cycle, a site visit to the organization may be made by one of the Foundation's directors. This approach avoids excessive paperwork and provides the Foundation's directors with a better understanding of the applicant organization.

In addition to considering current grant requests, the Foundation utilizes requests to establish relationships for future grant consideration.
