Funders Abandon HIV Prevention in Delaware, Leaving Equity Gaps to Widen

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Inside Philanthropy

Funders are quietly exiting HIV philanthropy, leading to a decrease in HIV-related giving and leaving organizations to rely more heavily on other funding sources. This shift perpetuates racial and economic inequities, as the HIV epidemic disproportionately impacts communities of color. The 340B Drug Pricing Program, which helps fund many HIV services, is also under attack. As negotiations regarding funding for the HIV safety net are happening in Congress, there is a widening gap between how the epidemic impacts white communities and communities of color. New funders, especially those focused on social justice and racial equity, are needed to join the fight against HIV and provide sustained funding to end the epidemic.

Top Colleges Eliminate Student Loans, Cutting Debt with Dual Enrollment

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC

Dual enrollment, a program that allows high school students to take college-level courses, is growing in popularity as more students recognize the benefits of earning college credits while still in high school. This strategy can shorten the time it takes to complete a high school diploma and one to two years of college coursework, potentially saving students money in the long run. However, while dual enrollment has shown positive outcomes for students, there is a need for improved outreach to underserved students and families to address equity gaps and ensure equal access to these programs.
