Texas Pride Impact Funds' work reflects the dynamic and diverse makeup of our LGBTQ+ communities and is intentionally broad to address their full suite of dreams and needs. Our Core Ideologies center equity and justice in all we do. Furthermore, our Discovery Grantmaking prioritizes a focus on historically under-resourced communities to spur innovation, build grantee capacity and expand access especially in rural and border communities as well as our urban centers.

QTCF
The Queer Texas Crisis Fund (QTCF) is TPIF's emergency preparedness fund. Our history for emergency funding began in 2017 with an award to the Montrose Center (Houston) Emergency Christmas Fund for Hurricane Harvey. victims. This very first grant by TPIF, as a start-up organization, was a full year prior to our Community Grant cycle that began in 2018. In 2020, in partnership with Equality Texas Foundation (ETF), QTCF was established to provide emergency relief to organizations serving communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. In 2022 the partnership awarded rapid response awards to Transgender led and or focused organizations in response to political attacks in Texas. With the passage of SB 14, TPIF - along with state and national partners - is assessing multiple response strategies in alignment with our mission and within a nonprofits' important role to shape the public debate on important social issues, especially for the Transgender siblings of our community.
Our Community Grants
In our effort to drive support and build capacity to communities that have been historically disadvantaged, TPIF has identified Focus Communities and Populations as places of emphasis for our work; Underserved Geographies (Rural, Border, Towns & Small Cities, Urban Segments), People of Transgender Experience, People of Color, Seniors, Youth, People with Disabilities, and Displaced Peoples (Immigrants, Homeless Youth, Refugees, Incarcerated).
Our annual Community Grants for non-profits provides support and services to the state’s LGBTQ+ communities with grants up to $10,000. In 2022 the total amount awarded increased by 40% over prior years due to growth in our generous donor base in conjunction with expanding awareness of TPIF and our work supporting the vital ecosystem of LGBTQ+ supportive non-profits in Texas. Our accessible grantmaking is designed to learn more about the community and the potential of grantee organizations in addressing community needs. We refrain from prescribing specific outcomes and instead provide general operating support, occasionally for specific capacity initiatives, encouraging potentially different kinds of success that come from investment in community or grassroots knowledge, expertise, and ingenuity.

Texas Health Impact Grant Cohort
Texas Health Impact Grant program is a three year program designed for grassroot organizations currently leading work, or seeking to develop innovative work, focused on two key areas: 1) Linkage and Engagement to Care and 2) Advocacy for People Living with HIV/AIDS, those vulnerable to HIV, and their families, particularly focusing on Black and Latinx transgender individuals and Black and Latinx MSM. Selected by ViiV Healthcare as one of thirteen AMP Grant Program Leads in the nation, TPIF is a proud member of a nationwide cohort working to disrupt disparities and prioritize the needs of people living with, and impacted by, HIV across the US. Through a generous Racial Equity Fund grant from The Dallas Foundation, we are increasing the number of Dallas County organizations participating in our three-year program, with state-wide funding from ViiV Healthcare.
See the organizations in our 2023 Texas Health Impact Grant cohort.

Our Community-Based, Five-Year Plan
In 2021, as TPIF approached the milestone of $1 million in grantmaking, we adopted a five-year strategic plan. Armed with a bold vision and a keen focus, we have a roadmap to reach ambitious goals that advance our vision for a Texas where all LGBTQ+ people live freely and fully.
