The Pride Foundation

Granting program: awarded cash grants to 349 non-profit organizations. Pride Foundation funds organizations, small and large, as they strengthen and serve The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Often, we hear that our grant is The first an organization has ever received. Other times we are funding more established organizations, which are starting to serve The lgbtq+ community. Either way, we are honored to put our community's resources to work supporting organizations we know are making a difference for lgbtq+ equality.

Scholarship program: awarded scholarships to 112 students for post-secondary education, with funds paid directly to The institution of learning. Pride Foundation scholarships support education and leadership development to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and straight-ally students of any age or sexual orientation from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington who are pursuing any post-secondary education (including community college, public or private colleges & universities, trade apprenticeships, or certificate programs)! Lgbtq students often do not have access to traditional means of support from families making it more compelling for organizations like ours to exist to support The educational endeavors of these students. Our scholarships have The power to make a huge financial and emotional impact on their lives.

Community advocacy, research & education: provided training and technical assistance on fundraising, grantmaking, leadership development, etc. To 100 non-profits and 500 individuals in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Helps to create a northwest region that is inhospitable to homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, and all other forms of harm directed at lgbtq+ communities so that we can find safety and belonging in our home communities. Care's goals are to engage in everyday community advocacy beyond traditional philanthropy; increasing capacity for critical community research by and for lgbtq+, especially bipoc trans+, northwesterners, and nourish regional community education that honors The historical and sustains The future gender-diversity of The northwest and beyond.
