Description
The LGBT Fund Grant is offered by the Erie Community Foundation to support projects addressing various needs in the LGBTQ+ community. It sits within the Foundation’s broader Community Impact Grant Programs, which support programs, projects, and initiatives responding to community-identified needs across the region. These programs seek to advance the Foundation’s strategic goals and its vision of a united, vibrant, and thriving region for all.
The Foundation’s broader grantmaking covers health, education, economic growth, neighborhood and community development, and regional vitality. The LGBT Fund brings an LGBTQ+ community focus to that work rather than identifying a single project type or issue as its sole priority.
