Welcome to Pride Foundation&#8217;s 25th year!

In 1985, as AIDS took its toll on our community, many of us wondered about our charitable legacy. Nonprofits addressing LGBT needs were nowhere near as prolific or as stable as they are today. Scholarships for LGBT students would be unheard of for 5 more years.
