About Healthy Families
The Gay & Lesbian Fund supports organizations that promote the health and wellbeing of families and children because we believe that strong communities begin with strong families. We invest in nonprofit organizations that cover everything from mental and physical health to essential necessities like food and shelter.
We invested $583,350 in 105 Colorado nonprofit organizations in our Healthy Families program area in 2010. Nonprofits we supported ranged from the Cherry Creek School District’s Diversity Conference and the Girl Scouts of Colorado to Senior Housing Options and The Gathering Place.
