Our grantmaking is focused as three "Impact Funds" which reflect OUT Miami Foundation's elevated priorities-- directed by our community's unique challenges and opportunities. The funds respond to short and long-term community needs and address some of our most pressing issues.

We are committed to investing intentionally across diverse LGBTQ communities. We seek to support organizations with a proven track record and understanding of the complexities of the intersectionalities unique to Miami's LGBTQ communities.

Youth + Families Fund

The Youth + Families impact fund supports programs benefiting LGBTQ youth, gay-straight alliances, educational initiatives, and activities/programs for LGBTQ families. This fund includes our GSA Grant Program.

Health + Wellness Fund

The Health + Wellness impact fund supports programs that reduce LGBTQ health disparities and promote wellness within the LGBTQ community. This fund currently focuses on the epidemic of new HIV transmissions as a major public health in issue in Miami-Dade county.
