LGBTQ Fund
The mission of this Fund is to cultivate one community that supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning individuals and families with the belief that all people should be treated with equal respect and dignity in a welcoming and affirming community.
LGBTQ FUND GRANT CYCLE 2025
The LGBTQ Fund Grant Cycle is now open. To better accommodate our community partners and volunteers, the LGBTQ Fund’s annual grant cycle will remain open through June this year. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Monday, June 30. We hope that this new timeframe will give our community partners more space to submit thoughtful, LGBTQ-forward projects for funding consideration.
If you have questions concerning your project, please contact Meg Ford at mford@cfbham.org or 205-327-3807.
