About LCAP
The Louisiana Community AIDS Partnership (LCAP) is a statewide collaborative convened by the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) in alliance with the National AIDS Fund. This joint effort seeks to promote and improve the health and quality of life for those infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS in Louisiana through public-private partnering at the community, parish and state levels. Additional information is available below and via the LCAP site links located on the right side of this page.

What We Do
The Partnerships’ initial Advisory Council is composed of concerned business, philanthropic, and community leaders, which enables us to identify issues in several different arenas, not only those that occur in the medical field. The Council is currently focused on local fundraising efforts with foundations and individual donors across Louisiana.

The Louisiana Community AIDS Partnership has identified the following gaps to be addressed in our 2010/2011 grantmaking cycle:

• Systems Change: Support existing systems such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, Rural Health Centers, community clinics and other healthcare providers to make policy and/ or programmatic changes that incorporate HIV/AIDS prevention.
• Targeted Interventions: Innovative evidence-based approaches to reach highly impacted groups.
• Awareness: Increase the general population's knowledge and perceptions of the impact of HIV/AIDS on Louisianans.
• Evaluation Efforts:  Implementation of evaluation studies of current programs to measure outcomes and/or sustainability.
