Pride Foundation Community Grants is a grant program from Pride Foundation that funds transformational movements for LGBTQ+ equity and justice across the Northwest.

The program provides critical funding to smaller, grassroots, LGBTQ+-led and focused organizations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, with particular emphasis on those working with communities most harmed by systemic injustices including racism, xenophobia, misogyny, ableism, and transphobia.

The Community Grants Program is proactive with no formal application, awarding between $10,000 and $70,000 over two years, with an average annual award of $8,733. Pride Foundation also offers a Community Care Fund with awards generally no less than $10,000 and a roughly three-week review timeline.

All grantee organizations must certify non-discrimination policies and sign a mutual partnership agreement committing to anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices.

We provide critical funding to the remarkable community organizations that are working to address the needs of LGBTQ+ people in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

Our grants support smaller, grassroots, LGBTQ+ led and focused organizations—especially those working with and in community who have been most harmed by systemic injustices like racism, xenophobia, misogyny, ableism, and transphobia.

As the only LGBTQ+ community foundation in the Northwest—and one of few institutions intentionally investing in LGBTQ+ communities—we play a critical role for LGBTQ+ led and focused organizations in the region. This is especially true for smaller, grassroots organizations who often do not have the same level of access to funding.

By strategically investing in these organizations, we have the opportunity to make a bigger impact on the ecosystem of support for LGBTQ+ people in the Northwest. We are continually evolving our grantmaking programs to be responsive to the needs and opportunities arising in the Northwest, while simplifying our processes and reducing burdens on current and potential grantee partner organizations.

Mutual Partnership, Collective Commitments to Justice We are proud to partner with community based organizations who are working for equity and justice in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. All organizations that receive a grant from Pride Foundation sign onto the following mutual partnership agreement, knowing it will take all of us—individuals, groups, organizations, and systems—to build toward our collective liberation.

We understand and are committed to the work it entails to create a foundation of mutual trust and partnership. Our priority is to communicate openly with you and provide the space for you to do the same. Together, we hope both of our organizations will strive to: Provide context, background, and purpose when we make requests of one another.

Listen closely to one another’s thinking, goals, successes, and visions for the future. Work intentionally to build a relationship where both our organizations can share expectations and feedback in an open and timely manner. Build the kind of relationship where each of our organizations feels comfortable sharing struggles, challenges, and mistakes with each other openly and in the spirit of learning and growing together.

Be proactive in our commitments and learnings to become anti-racist and anti-oppressive organizations. Acknowledge and apologize when there is harm, regardless of intent.

Organizations that receive grants from Pride Foundation must also certify that they do not discriminate in regard to age, race or ethnicity, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, disability, creed or religion, national origin, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, military status, or political or union ideology or affiliation.

This grant from Pride Foundation supports the incorporation of LGBTQ+ inclusiveness throughout our entire sexual health education lesson package, and supports the Rainbow Army, our LGBTQ+ and allied youth support group, to continue to flourish.
