Free Meeting Space

The Gay & Lesbian Fund offers meeting space to nonprofit organizations at no charge.

In 2010 alone, we hosted 16,583 people at 564 events. Organizations that utilized our meeting space ranged from the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPeR) and Colorado State University to the El Paso & Teller Counties Alliance for Drug Endangered Children, the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival, and the local chapter for the Alzheimer’s Association.

We are proud to have inspired and supported thousands of hours of volunteer work by providing free meeting and event space for use by local nonprofits. Demand has dramatically increased over the last few years, signaling an ever-growing need for resources that nonprofits can leverage to serve Colorado’s communities.

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.
