2024 Grantmaking
In 2024, the Pride Charitable Fund will continue to support the work of LGBTQ serving and LGBTQ lead organizations in Kansas City. To offer the community an opportunity to share their perspective of the work and allow organizations to self-identify as LGBTQ serving, the Pride Fund has issued a Call for Information (CFI) that will remain open until October 31st . Advisors will use the Community Foundation resources and the CFI responses to identify eligible nonprofits. Priority will be given to organizations that:
- Align with the Pride Fund Values
- Are supporting work that responds to the greatest disparities as identified by the Voices of Pride Needs Assessment
- Serve LGBTQ children and families in Kansas City, Missouri or Jackson County, Missouri
2023 Grantmaking
In its second year of grantmaking, the Pride Charitable Fund awarded seven grants to LGBTQ serving organizations with an average grant size of $1,497. The Fund continued some of the strategies adopted in their first grantmaking year, including awarding grants without an application to decrease the administrative burden on nonprofits and ensure the process was reflective of grant size. The Pride Fund values remained a central decision-making component of grantee selection and the advisors were supported by the Community Foundation in identifying organizations working with the LGBTQ population. At the end of 2022, the Pride Fund received a donation that was restricted for grants to organizations that serve LGBTQ children and families in Kansas City, Missouri or Jackson County, Missouri which provided a new component to 2023 grantmaking. Those earmarked dollars were used to support two of the seven grantees.
