What a great idea and concept.
I had the wonderful opportunity this morning to visit LeadingAge member, The Pryde, LGBTQ Senior Housing’s new community that opened in Hyde Park this summer. What an incredible project redeveloping a former school building into this beautiful, vibrant community that is providing affordable housing that is welcoming and safe for LGBTQ seniors. Thank you to Gretchen Van Ness, Aileen Montour, and Philippe Saad!

It's essential to address the issue of gatekeeping in funding allocation within organizations claiming to serve marginalized communities. The practice of using the "T" in LGBTQ to secure maximum funding for trans individuals, while not effectively supporting or serving them, is DIABOLICAL WORK. Many cisgender-led organizations prioritize funding over genuine service delivery to the trans community, even though local Trans-led organizations are actively engaged in providing essential support and services. This disparity highlights the need for transparency and accountability in resource allocation. As a Black Trans ED navigating funding opportunities, being aware of these challenges is crucial. Upholding integrity and ensuring that resources reach those who need them the most is key to fostering inclusivity and equity within the nonprofit sector. #FundingEquity #TransRights #NonprofitLeadership

Watch this video! You may see some familiar people!
Good morning and welcome to our second annual Family Equality Giving Day – which coincides with LGBTQ Families Day. This is a day to celebrate our families in all corners of the United States and we’ll do just that all day long. Family Equality is wrapping its arms around more families than ever before – providing them with a loving community, connection, resources, and education and protecting them through our policy and advocacy work. Start your day with this hope-filled video with messages from our families and, most importantly, our children! And then support our work by giving to our Family Equality Giving Day campaign. We’re hoping to raise $25,000 and every dollar helps get us to (and hopefully beyond!) that goal! #FamilyEqualityGivingDay #LGBTQFamiliesDay https://lnkd.in/dd7HYSY7 https://lnkd.in/d-KHY-qa

The humble journey of the Smiling Rainbow platform begins on February 19, 2019, with only one mission: SHARING PAIN MUST NOT BE EXPENSIVE. Over this period we have provided free counseling to thousands of individuals nationwide. Initially, our platform catered exclusively to members of the LGBTQ+ community. Over time, however, we began to receive inquiries and calls from individuals of various backgrounds. Based on our experience we have observed many trends in society, whereas few trends are ironic and on the other hand few are disturbing. In an attempt to spread awareness, we are going to share many such information in our #NoMotivationOnlyInformation campaign. The purpose of that series is simply to spread information in society instead of motivation. No one desires to succumb to depression. When individuals find themselves immersed in the depths of despair, all they seek is steadfast support to prevent them from sinking. We aspire to be that unwavering support, by offering a new, comprehensive platform that provides free or affordable counseling for all without discrimination. We did our best for years to ensure #FreeCounselingServiceForAll. Finally, we had to stop our free counseling service from August 2023 onwards due to a funding constraint. To resume our #FreeCounselingServiceForAll we need your support. Your generous contribution could bring much-needed relief to many lives. IF YOU FEEL OUR INITIATIVE IS WORTH YOUR PRECIOUS SUPPORT PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING US BY CLICKING ON OUR DONATION FORM: https://lnkd.in/gK4UhjRK #FreeOnlineCounseling #NoMotivationOnlyInformation #MentalHealthMatters #SpreadHope #SupportEachOther

Some thoughts I have about #PrideMonth this year and how organizations can support the LGBTQ+ members of key audiences.
At Slide Nine, we embrace diversity and inclusion not just as seasonal observances, but as pillars of our work culture. We proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just during Pride Month but every day. Through our unique philanthropy initiative, we empower our team members to make a difference by providing each with $1,000 to donate to causes of their choice that promote a safer, more equitable world. #HappyPride #Community #DEI
