Our grantmaking program supports the vibrant diversity of our community

Picture
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.


​If you are interested in volunteering on our Grant Advisory Committee, please email us.

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.

Social Justice Fund

The Social Justice impact fund supports programs that benefit the LGBTQ community's most underserved populations-- including people of color, Transgender people, seniors, immigrants, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ people living in poverty. This fund does not support political advocacy 501c(4) organizations.

Support an impact fund... INVEST in tackling our community's toughest issues!

Use this form to give directly to one of our three impact funds and with a single donation, you'll support many organizations advancing the LGBTQ issues you care about. Your gift to an impact fund can be a one-time donation or a sustaining monthly/annual gift. Each fund disburses strategic grants to local LGBTQ-serving organizations, supports grantees with volunteers throughout the year, and operates year-round programming to strengthen the capacity of our grantees.

Our fund launch campaign is LIVE!
Help us meet our goal of raising $10,000 for the impact funds. Up to $10,000 in donations will be matched two-to-one (up to $20,000) by Funders for LGBTQ Issues!!! Your $100 donation becomes $300, $500 becomes $1,500, etc... multiplying your impact by 3x!
