Year in Review
This year we awarded $63,000, nearly 20% more than the previous year. This translated to 16 different grants for programs and services to LGBTQ youth, seniors, and transgender and gender diverse people. Projects were wide ranging and included organizations such as Pueblo High School, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, Pima Council on Aging, Camp Born This Way, and the Foundation for Creative Broadcasting (KXCI). These and all of the grantees are working to support a vibrant and resilient LGBTQ community. Please take a moment to review the full list of our 2018 grant recipients on page 2.
