The Our Fund Foundation promotes philanthropy, manages enduring investments, and conducts impactful grant-making to improve the lives of LGBTQ people in South Florida.
The collaborative grant program by the Our Fund Foundation and Community Foundation of Broward aims to foster a more informed and empathetic populace in Broward County, supportive of protecting LGBTQ civil liberties and expression. It focuses on building paths to equity for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly at a time of renewed national discourse on LGBTQ civil liberties. The grant supports efforts to end discrimination against LGBTQ people, highlighting the necessity due to Broward County's large LGBTQ population and its significance as a welcoming tourist destination. Priorities include overcoming systemic injustices faced by LGBTQ individuals, addressing disparities in health, income, education, and safety, and implementing strategies to build awareness, understanding, and community engagement towards LGBTQ equity and advocacy.
Projects and initiatives that advocate for racial justice and equity while addressing systemic racism will be prioritized. Funding is available for both programmatic and operational endeavors. We especially welcome applications from organizations led by Black individuals.
