quity Foundation announced Aug. 1 3 the
2004 general grant cycle to fund gay, les
bian, bi, trans and other Oregon nonprofits.
Since its inception, Equity has distributed
$1.75 million in grants to programs throughout
Oregon that work to build communities that
embrace the dignity and worth of all people.
During the 2003 general grant cycle, it awarded
32 grants to organizations across Oregon.
A group of committed volunteers reviews the
applications and makes recommendations based
on the greatest community needs and impact of
proposed projects. The deadline is Sept. 10.
“Nonprofit Navigation: The Essential Train
ing” offers a variety of comprehensive workshops
on many important topics—including fund raising,
development and capacity building—for organiza
tions of all kinds. It’s designed to benefit all board
members, staff and volunteers, whether they’re
new to nonprofit work or seasoned professionals.
The registration fee is $100 a person, which
includes the reception and most meals. Seating
is limited and will be accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Founded by software entrepreneur Tim Gill in
1994, the foundation works to secure equal oppor
tunity for all people by providing grants to organi
zations, enhancing the managerial skills of non
profit leaders, strengthening democratic institu
tions and building awareness of the societal contri- i
j hutions made by people of diverse sexual orienta
tions and gender identities. To date it has invested
$67 million in nonprofits throughout the country.
