Priority Areas
Pride Foundation prioritize funding for LGTBQ+ groups and organizations that are:
- Serving Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) and Trans and Gender Nonconforming folks (TGNC) and whose leadership* reflects these communities.
- They define leadership as: In positions with decision making power. This could mean that the majority of an organization’s staff leadership team (i.e. Directors/Executive Director) and/or the majority of its board members. They also look at participation among staff and participants.
- Innovatively supporting communities when or where nobody else is, especially smaller, grassroots organizations and those who don’t have access to mainstream funding sources.
- More specifically, this includes rural organizations with limited access to resources and funder support—whether from individual donors or lack of/limited philanthropic infrastructure within your area.
- This also includes organizations and groups that are not necessarily LGBTQ+ focused, but are led by BIPOC—especially queer and trans BIPOC—who are leading inherently from an intersectional perspective. They understand that because of racism queer and trans folks of color may not have found space within the larger LGBTQ+ movement to do this work. As part of Pride Foundation’s racial equity work, they recognize the importance of expanding how LGBTQ+ advocacy and movement building looks in communities of color.
