WE SUPPORT OUR VALUED AGENCIES
APPLY FOR GRANTS
In 2021, The Our Fund Foundation completed a comprehensive community needs assessment to align its giving with current needs and priorities. These findings identified three categories for grantmaking that encompass the most critical needs and priorities of the community – Health & Wellness, Social Justice, and Arts & Culture.

Priority
GRANTMAKING THAT MATTERS.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
The Our Fund Foundation’s grantmaking addresses the unique health related risks and disparities LGBTQ individuals experience, including physical, emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of health as well as the social isolation of LGBTQ elders. Included priorities for The Foundation are HIV/AIDS, addiction and mental health, and healthcare access, affordability, and responsiveness.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
The Our Fund Foundation’s Social Justice Fund envisions a world in which all LGBTQ people live with dignity, safety, and opportunity. Preference for grants from The Foundation is given to the agencies, programs, and services that increase LGBTQ inclusion and acceptance, as well as expand LGBTQ-affirming protection.
ARTS & CULTURE
The Our Fund Foundation recognizes the importance of arts and culture to inspire, empower, and transform individuals and communities. Grants from this fund promote South Florida artistic expression that amplifies LGBTQ voices and works in the service of preserving, telling, and celebrating LGBTQ stories, as well as promoting LGBTQ equality and social justice.
AWARDING GRANTS
The Our Fund Foundation is a community partner that creates a better future for all by pursuing the community’s greatest opportunities and addressing its most critical challenges. By inclusively uniting people, institutions, and resources from throughout South Florida, The Foundation produces significant, widely shared, and lasting results.
