A NOTE FROM OUR FUND LEADERS

Dear Loyal Supporter,

Happy Pride Month! The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund is thrilled to provide a mid-year update about the incredible work of our 2022-2024 grantees.

At a time when LGBTQ+ Americans are facing a variety of barriers that significantly impact their quality of life and well-being, we are here to help. That’s why we’re staying focused on funding critical queer programs that address health care access, mentorship, housing attainment and affordability, youth and elder support, employment, legal protections, and so much more.

Thanks to your generous support, the 2022-2024 Alliance Fund grant cycle is midway.

Here are some of the major wins we want you to know about:

• We’ve awarded our largest grant round since 1999: $103,500 has been distributed to 12 local grantees. The average grant is now $8,625.

• We’re also transitioning to multi-year funding. This means our grantees can now count on two years of funding, for a combined total of $207,000 in ‘22 and ’23!

• Our endowment is growing. Our total endowed funds are closer than ever to reaching $1 million in assets.

As a result of the historic progress being made at the Alliance Fund, we are ready to dream big with you in our next chapter of growth and transformation.

Our success is only made possible with your continued support. Together, we’ll keep building an inclusive, equitable, and just society for our LGBTQ+ loved ones.

Thank you,

Ethan Smith Cox Andres Cano Board Chair

PROGRESS: forward movement toward a destination.
