Colin Higgins Foundation Accepting Letters of Inquiry for Program to Support Lesbian and Gay Youth
Deadline: June 29, 2007

Through its grantmaking activities, the Colin Higgins Foundation (<a href="http://www.colinhiggins.org/">http://www.colinhiggins.org/</a>) supports U.S. nonprofit organizations that build the power and leadership of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered youth (aged 13 to 24) through grassroots organizing and/or comprehensive leadership development activities; work with historically underprivileged constituencies (i.e., youth of color, transgendered, immigrant, low-income, or rural youth and/or youth in reservation communities); activities that strive to bring about institutional change in the legal, political, economic, or cultural structures that impact LGBT youth; and/or work designed to link LGBT youth to other organizations and social justice movements.

Organizations may apply for either general or project specific support. The foundation will only consider Letters of Inquiry from organizations with project budgets under $500,000. If an organization has an overall budget over $2 million, they are ineligible to apply regardless of the project budget size.

The foundation does not consider Letters of Inquiry from or award grants outside the United States, or from organizations and projects whose primary work is outside the United States. The foundation generally awards grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each.
