Guidelines
Pride Foundation is currently conducting an extensive review of our Granting Program to better serve our community of nonprofits. donors, and volunteers. A standard practice, the review is an important step to ensuring the program is meeting existing and emerging needs in our LGBTQ community.
Results of this review will be shared during the summer of 2013. However, we do not anticipate significant changes to our 2013 process. The next application process will open in June 2013.

Philosophy
Pride Foundation’s work is guided by social justice philanthropy. Social justice philanthropy for Pride Foundation is:
- Harnessing the tools of philanthropy (granting, fundraising, communication, and advocacy) to address the ways in which the LGBTQ community is 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.
