Each year, Pride Foundation receives 150-200 grant applications and we utilize a team of committed and passionate volunteers to participate in the difficult task of narrowing down the pool of applicants.
Year after year, our goal is that, when the review process is complete, the grant recipients chosen will reflect the current landscape of the LGBTQ movement, and will specifically address the critical and timely needs of communities here in the Northwest.
Beginning in June 2019, we will be looking for a diverse group of LGBTQ or allied volunteer grant reviewers that are passionate about LGBTQ equality and have one or more of the following characteristics:
The grant review process is an excellent professional development opportunity and an impactful way of serving the LGBTQ community. Reviewers are provided training and exposure to new and innovative ideas, are engaged in the grant-making process of a major funder, gain skills in grant writing, and build meaningful relationships with other LGBTQ and allied experts from a variety of backgrounds.
Time Commitment:
