This is a critical moment for LGBTQ+ communities across the Northwest. From legislative attacks to shifting policy landscapes, the stakes are high and staying connected to what’s happening in our region has never been more important.

We invite you to join us on May 14th at 1pm PT for our State of the Region webinar, where we’ll break down what we’re seeing and what it means for our communities.

Real change doesn’t happen because of one organization.
It happens through an ecosystem of people and organizations working together.

Pride Foundation is one part of that ecosystem. As a community foundation serving Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, our role is to steward resources, support community leadership, and invest in the long-term strength of LGBTQ+ communities.

We recently published a blog post explaining how foundations fit into the broader landscape of movement work and how Pride Foundation approaches this role. Read more here: https://pridefoundation.org/2026/03/the-ecosystem-of-change-understanding-pride-foundations-role-in-movement-work/

Across the country, people are watching the places they call home become sites of surveillance, criminalization, and state violence.

For too many, home is no longer a place of comfort or belonging — it’s a place of vigilance and fear.

In our latest blog post, All the Places We Call Home: Why This Moment Calls for Collective Action and Long-Term Care, we reflect on what it means to show up for our communities not just in moments of crisis, but consistently, over time.

Today, we mark the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose work is too often remembered in fragments, rather than for the full moral and political clarity it demanded.

Dr. King understood that justice is not passive and that hope without action is fragile. His legacy calls us not only to remember, but to engage — to confront systems of harm and to organize for a more just and liberated future.

That call feels especially urgent right now. In our latest blog, we’re inviting you into that spirit of action. Read more: https://pridefoundation.org/2026/01/from-dreaming-to-action-honoring-the-legacy-of-dr-king/

As we embark on a new year, we invite you to join Pride Foundation for our Year in Action virtual webinar on Thursday, January 22nd from 12:00–1:15pm PST.

During this conversation, Pride Foundation staff will share what we’re seeing across the Northwest, how LGBTQ+ communities are responding to this moment, and how our work continues to evolve to meet emerging challenges and opportunities.

You’ll hear updates from across our departments and get a first look at what’s ahead in the coming year, along with ways to stay involved.

Each year, Pride Foundation’s scholarship reviewers play a vital role in supporting LGBTQ+ students across the Northwest.

Volunteers help review scholarship applications, ensuring students are met with care, fairness, and encouragement as they pursue their education.

Our scholarship review process is fully online and takes place in two phases: January–February and March–April.

Volunteers can participate in one or both phases, with an estimated 25 hours per phase, spread out over time.
