To ensure that the Foundation's LGBTQ work is sustained on a permanent basis, the Board of Directors established an endowed fund that will make grants on an annual basis in perpetuity. The Fund will ensure there is always grant funding for local LGBTQ-led and LGBTQ-serving nonprofits. With the generous contributions of our donors, the Foundation has now reached its initial fundraising goal of $2.5 million, fully funding this transformative effort.
