The OUT Fund is a giving circle composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds who are committed to leveraging resources and expertise to make a positive impact in our community. The Fund's focus is to support organizations and projects that serve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA) communities in Los Angeles County. The giving priorities are to support organizations or projects that focus on underserved and marginalized communities including youth, transgender, racial & ethnic minorities, seniors, undocumented immigrants, and immigrants.

Since its inaugural year in 2012, the OUT Fund has made grants of over $400,000 to local organizations. Organizations must be designated a 501(c)(3) charity or have a fiscal sponsor. Organizations budget size of under $1 million preferred.

With the gift of $500 or more you can join is in the democratic grantmaking process to move significant collective dollars from this giving circle to the LGBTQIA community here in Los Angeles to make a transformative difference.

"The vision of the OUT Fund donors in supporting smaller projects like TransYouth Speak is much needed and is an encouragement for grassroots professionals and activists to keep on with the work." - Dove Pressnall, Survivors' Truths

"The support we received from OUT Fund has deepened our LA based work on so many levels and now we are poised for the largest membership event in the country. Thank you!!!" - Cole B., Brown Boi Project.
