Description

The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund, administered through the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, brings people together through philanthropy to strengthen Southern Arizona’s LGBTQ+ community. It supports charitable giving for innovative programs and initiatives benefiting that community. The next grant round will provide nonprofits with two years of unrestricted funding rather than support tied solely to a particular project.

Past grants reflect a broad range of community needs, including emergency housing for LGBTQ+ youth, therapeutic foster care recruitment, HIV outreach through telehealth, and education addressing the needs of Latinx LGBTQ youth and their families. Supported work has also included intergenerational community art, an LGBTQ youth chorus, arts-based suicide prevention, cultural competency training, and a program helping trans women communicate with confidence.
