Year-End Grants Will Boost Our Work in 2010
1/5/2010 - Equality NC Foundation received a number of grants in December for support of our education and advocacy efforts to secure LGBT-inclusive employment nondiscrimination protections in North Carolina.
We deeply appreciate the support of the following grant-making organizations:
-
Tides Foundation's State Equality Fund, a philanthropic partnership that includes the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr Fund, the Gill Foundation, and anonymous donors, has made a two-year grant of $90,000 to be paid in installments of $50,000 in 2010 and $40,000 in 2011. This grant will help us in our efforts to secure workplace protections for state employees and work towards comprehensive anti-discrimination laws.
-
Triangle Community Foundation has made a grant of $15,000 to support our communications and community organizing around our nondiscrimination work in the Triangle.
-
2009 Crape Myrtle Festival has made an unrestricted grant of $3,000 in support of our statewide HIV/AIDS advocacy work.
-
The 300 Fund of the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has made a grant of $3,000 to support new community organizing activities in the Asheville region.
Equality NC Foundation has grown considerably over the past three years, and we are very grateful to the progressive organizations which have invested in our work while we have been building our support from individuals and corporations.
