Pride Foundation awards grants to 501(c)3 organizations or organizations with a 501(c)3 fiscal sponsor that are based in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon or Washington. We are transitioning to a web-based grant application system.

A guiding principle of Pride Foundation granting is Social Justice Philanthropy. Social Justice Philanthropy for Pride Foundation is about:

• Harnessing the tools of philanthropy (grantmaking, fundraising, communication, and advocacy) to address the ways in which we (the LGBT community) are connected to systemic inequities that impact other marginalized and underrepresented groups in our society
• Supporting nonprofit organizations and leaders that work for structural change
• Increasing the opportunity and engagement of those who are marginalized politically, economically and socially

In keeping with these principles, Pride Foundation is pleased to announce its 2011 Pride Foundation Granting Cycle. Pride Foundation will strive to balance funds awarded to projects in: arts and recreation; education, advocacy and outreach; health and community services; HIV/AIDS; lesbian health; and youth and family.

Maximum Grant Award: $5,000
