Mission Statement

People of Color LGBT Pride’s mission is to do its best to create an atmosphere where our LGBTQ people of color and affected homeless youth are educated and empowered to handle life’s challenges.

This is a figure drawing/painting group, specifically & exclusively for Indigenous people and people of color, working with a live nude model (also POC/Indigenous). Centering our aesthetics and styles; celebrating our forms, figures, features; and building connections and community.

Bring your own supplies, drawing board, maybe a snack to share.

 Borealis Philanthropy works as a partner to philanthropy, helping grantmakers expand their reach and impact.  Borealis helps connect grantmakers to organizations that meet their mission. We provide a high level of service to our funders and grantees by conducting our work in a manner that is collaborative, transparent, and accountable.  

 The Trans Justice Funding Project is a community-led funding initiative founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people. We make grants annually by bringing together a panel of six trans justice activists from around the country to carefully review every application we receive. We center the leadership of trans people organizing around their experiences with racism, economic injustice, transmisogyny, ableism, immigration, incarceration, and other intersecting oppressions. Every penny we raise goes to our grantees with no restrictions and no strings attached because we truly believe in trans leadership. 

 ReCast Minneapolis 

The Resilience in Communities After Stress & Trauma (ReCAST) Minneapolis program is funded through a multi-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. ReCAST Minneapolis is intended to assist high-risk youth and families to promote resilience and equity in communities that have recently faced civil unrest through implementation of evidence-based violence prevention and community youth engagement programs, as well as linkages to trauma-informed behavioral health services. SAMHSA created the ReCAST program to support communities that have lived through demonstrations of mass protest in response to police-involved shootings of unarmed African-American males.
