More About the GLBT Challenge Grant

Greater Worcester Community Foundation applied for and received a $100,000 2:1 challenge grant from Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues to begin building a permanent philanthropic resource for the GLBT community in Worcester County.

Ours is the 40th community foundation in the country to receive this grant. Through such partnerships, over 900 grants around the country have funded programs serving youth, public education projects, anti-violence projects, grassroots organizations, support groups, media, arts and cultural projects, and infrastructure and capacity building at GLBT organizations.

A local advisory committee of GLBT people and allies working with the Foundation will review the needs assessment findings, determine our priorities, and review applications once the fund is established.
