Southern Arizona Senior Pride
“ “The Alliance Fund provided essential operating funds to help fuel significant growth for Senior Pride this past year, furthering the organization’s mission and providing over 2,000 individual interactions of support for LGBTQI+ elders throughout Southern Arizona. Continued support will enable continuation of the services and programs which are not only valuable for recipients and participants, but for our incredible volunteers.”

FLORENCE IMMIGRANT & REFUGEE PROJECT
The Alliance Fund grant is supporting detained LGBTQ+ migrants and asylum seekers who want greater opportunity in the United States. Our clients are usually impoverished and do not have access to very much money. Unfortunately, there are a lot of financial costs involved in the immigration process. These costs include application and filing fees, transportation costs, expert witness testimonies, medical or mental health evaluations, bond fees, and various other costs. We feel that the combination of the training sessions and covering client costs will help our staff to provide the best quality resources and services for our LGBTQ+ clients.”

On Thursday, October 21, 2022, the Alliance Fund hosted its annual Queer for GOOD! Celebration at the Historic Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson. The free celebration was attended by more than 400 supporters and raised $90,000—the highest amount raised in one night in the Fund’s 23-year history. In addition to introducing our 20222024 grantees, the celebration featured Pima County Board of Supervisors Chair
Adelita Grijalva, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, and Tucson City Council Members Lane Santa Cruz & Kevin Dahl.
