LGBTQ+ Giving Circle, Colorado’s first giving circle supporting organizations and causes that impact LGBTQ+ communities in Colorado, awarded a total of $16,000 in grants to eight organizations in its first year.
It's been the honor of a lifetime to gather with passionate people in our community, pool our resources, and decide how we want to help support organizations that make a difference for LGBTQ people across the state.

Since launching earlier this year, LGBTQ+ Giving Circle has already grown to 44 members and together they’ve raised more than $38,000.
The circle is made up of community members who are passionate about understanding and responding to the needs of LGBTQ+ communities, including those that are most marginalized and under-resourced. They give collectively by pooling their resources to support efforts, big and small, to create positive change.
