I am proud of the work that has been created by community and the Community dialogues that facilitated the Racial Equity Initiative. The Communities of Color Endowment is the first and only permanently endowed fund serving LGBTQ people of color in the nation and PFund takes great pride in the community efforts that made this a reality. Then, PFund collaborated with Marnita’s Table, a non-profit that ignites enduring cross-cultural connections through intentional social interaction, to convene leaders from LGBT and allied communities of color.
Out of these conversations grew the Leadership Program. Participants built on existing leadership skills, explored identities as queer leaders of color, created a community with their cohorts and used learned and expanded skills to enhance local communities and inform their circles of influence.
