The Queer Texas Crisis Fund, a joint project by Texas Pride Impact Funds and Equality Texas, was created to provide a second round of emergency funding in 2020 for LGBTQ+ serving nonprofit organizations providing emergency relief to communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and the \"further-exposed\" health and racial justice inequities in our state and country. Grants were awarded to sixteen organizations providing direct service to our LGBTQ+ community members impacted by the pandemic and\/orthe \u00a0effects of systemic racism.\u00a0The fundraising campaign ran July to September and awards were announced and distributed in October 2020.<\/p>\n

Texas Pride Impact Funds is profoundly grateful to our colleagues at Equality Texas<\/strong> for proposing, and bringing energy to this endeavor during the pandemic to\u00a0assist stressed organizations around the state, shifting resources to where they are needed the most. Together, we decided the most impactful thing we could do was use our organizations' platforms and resources to raise an additional round of funds, ($47,500)<\/strong> to assist our community partners with their vital work. We are proud of the Queer Texas Crisis Fund and all of the amazing people who contributed to the initiative.<\/p>\n

The Equality Texas Foundation works to secure full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Texans through education, community organizing, and collaboration; learn more about Equality Texas here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.equalitytexas.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
