Grant making
Since 1989, Equity Foundation has been changing the lives of individuals across the state. By granting money to organizations
that respect and protect diversity, we ensure that all have a place to be represented. Historically, Equity Foundation makes grants to:
- Organizations that incorporate understanding of sexual and gender minorities and people of the broader community that promote healthy human interactions.
- Sexual and gender minority organizations and others similarly isolated from traditional funding sources.
- Organizations for which Equity’s grant
promotes the value of diversity and acceptance.
