LGBT Fund Grant (Erie Community Foundation)

Community Impact Grant Programs is a grant from the Erie Community Foundation that funds free, open community events and sponsorships prioritizing underserved and marginalized populations in Erie County, Pennsylvania. Community Impact sponsorships support initiatives that advance multicultural values, promote community education, and celebrate diversity. Sponsorship awards typically do not exceed $2,500, though higher amounts have occasionally been awarded based on available budget. Events must be free and open to the public, located in accessible venues along public transportation routes, include a clear DEI strategy, and offer education and reflection opportunities rather than entertainment only. Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) organizations located in or serving Erie County, PA.

2026 Pride Fund for LGBTQIA+ Business Owners is sponsored by National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) in partnership with funders. This program provides $1,000 microgrants to LGBTQIA+–owned small businesses across the U. S. Grant funds may be used flexibly for expenses such as operations, equipment, staffing, or growth. Finalists also receive free access to a business accelerator program.
