Colorado is home to people from diverse backgrounds. All of the Colorado nonprofits we support understand the value of inclusion and promote equality within their organizations.

Since 1996, the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado has invested more than $24.8 million in hundreds of high-impact nonprofits, providing them with the resources they need to thrive. The organizations in which we invest are committed to improving the quality of life for all Coloradans.

We are pleased to share four stories about grantees in each of our program areas: Arts & Culture, Civic Participation, Healthy Families, and Public Broadcasting. Please click on one of the boxes above to learn more about the invaluable work our nonprofit grantees do on behalf of everyone in Colorado.

Welcome to the website for the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado

We’d like to update you on some important news.

In 2012, we are taking a break from all new grantmaking to undergo a strategic re-evaluation.

During this time, the Gay & Lesbian Fund will not accept any unsolicited 2012 grant applications, but all grantees that were awarded a grant from the Gay & Lesbian Fund during 2011 will receive a grant of the same amount in 2012 with no paperwork required. We will accomplish those renewals by March 1, 2012.

The Gay & Lesbian Fund is a program of the Gill Foundation. The Gill Foundation is as committed to Colorado as ever – giving more than $3.5 million to Colorado nonprofits annually. After this re-evaluation, the Gay & Lesbian Fund, which is only a portion of our Colorado giving, will continue to be a significant part of the foundation’s work in the state. We will announce, and update this site to reflect, the Gay & Lesbian Fund’s revised grantmaking and application guidelines as soon as that information is available.

In the interim, all Colorado programs outside of the Gay & Lesbian Fund, including the funding of our progressive allies, our LGBT and HIV service and advocacy organizations, and our anti-bullying work will continue on their current trajectory and will not be directly affected.

Thank you for your patience in the weeks and months ahead. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@gayandlesbianfund.org.
