In honor of Pride Month, our LGBTQ+ employee affinity group is highlighting six Bay Area organizations that are vital to LGBTQ+ communities across the region.
These groups provide essential services—from youth development to legal advocacy—while strengthening safety, belonging, and leadership within the community.
At a time when federal actions are threatening LGBTQ+ rights and well-being, their work is more critical than ever. Sustained donor support is key to ensuring these organizations can continue protecting the health, dignity, and opportunity of all LGBTQ+ people across the Bay Area.
SFF is proud to sponsor SF Pride for the second year—and we invite any SFF donors to march with us on June 28. Join SFF staff in standing with the LGBTQ+ community. To participate, contact your philanthropic advisor.
