The Diversity Partnership Fund (DPF) is an endowment to strengthen alliances, promote respect, and enhance services for Santa Cruz County’s LGBT Community.
Thanks to the hard work of DPF Co-Chairs, Clare Sheils and Margaret Leonard, the Fund is nearing the $700,000 mark toward its goal of $1 million.
The DPF is a permanent endowed fund at the Foundation. Its purpose is to be a lasting funding resource for grants to LGBT-serving organizations. The Fund is invested for long-term growth in a Socially Responsible Investment pool and a portion of its earnings is used each year to support Diversity Partnership grantmaking. Until the $1 million mark is reached, the earnings are augmented by an annual fundraising campaign.
You can support the Partnership in two ways.
A gift to the Diversity Partnership Fund will build a permanent funding resource for the LGBT Community.
A gift to the Grantmaking Pool will support LGBT grants in the coming year, while we work toward our $1 million endowment
Yes! I want to make a gift to support the LGBT community!
