Overview

Mission

We envision a world where all lgbtq+ humans are heard, housed, and mentally healthy. The mission of the pride & joy foundation is to prevent suicide and homelessness in the lgbtq+ community by fostering allyship, empowering advocates, and creating opportunities for lgbtq+ visibility.

What it reported doing in 2022

Visibility. In 2022 we created visibility opportunities for over 100 lgbtq+ individuals in supoort of their financial and mental wellbeing. These included public speaking events, nonfiction writing and publication opportunities, podcast episode features, blog features, and more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
