Description
The Washington Blade Foundation works to preserve the legacy of the nation's first LGBT newspaper. It supports international reporting, as the Washington Blade has been traveling the world since 2013 to cover LGBT issues in areas where advocacy work and visibility remain limited. Additionally, the Blade Foundation funds reporters covering countries to extend its reach further. Their programs consist of a Scholarship Program that funds aspiring journalists' projects on LGBTQ issues.
