celebrating 20 years of grant-making
then & now celebrating 20 years of grant-making Gratitude Report 2007 – 2008 Mount Vernon High School GSA Profile: Mount Vernon High School GSA Profile: Gay/Straight Alliances, or GSA’s, are sprouting up in high schools all over our region. Most remain support groups, but one GSA that Pride Foundation funded this year has gone beyond this. The Mount Vernon High School GSA has a goal to change their entire community. To do this the group has started conversations about LGBT people in their rural town and produced a hugely successful Over the Rainbow festival attended by people from all over the area. K e ll i : Ia n : I came out to my parents this year. My needed anymore. Our goals have to do with changing the climate of this school, making it safe and more nurturing for all students, fighting homophobia, and raising awareness about LGBT issues in the bigger community as well. I’ve seen us doing a bang-up job of that in our first year and half. If we keep doing this, we won’t be needed. I think that would be marvelous. parents were already very supportive, but my mom is making an effort to learn about things she didn’t know previously. She went to the Over the Rainbow festival. And I think I have seen Katie and Cherie’s moms at events and meetings, and it has helped get the conversation going with our parents. What have you learned from the GSA that will help you later in life? K e ll i : Students Ian, Cherie, and Katie — and their advisor, Librarian Cathy — were interviewed by 1988 Mount Vernon HS graduate Kelli Robson, who is now a Pride Foundation donor and volunteer. K a t i e : What haven’t I learned? The club is really my baby and all the members mean so much to me and I think that just the love that everyone has for one another and the passion they have for the activism and supporting each other is something that I will carry with me throughout my life. Ia n : Once the GSA came, so many different types of students and ages came together and it really taught me not to judge others like I had been judged. C h e r i e : I’ve really learned how to be there for people. I’ve learned that I am not the only person going through these things and how to be with people and how to love, I guess you could say, really unconditionally. Where do you see yourselves going in the future? K e ll i : Ia n : I want to go into medicine, but I am taking an alternative route with a sociology degree. C h e r i e : I plan on being active in the LGBT community and major in public relations. I also want to do an anti-bullying project in the middle schools. H e ar m o r e ! Listen to this entire interview at PrideFoundation.org. Cathy, Where do you see the GSA in 5 years? How has involvement in the GSA helped you? K e ll i : K a t i e : I’d like to go into journalism and eventu- ally politics. I will pursue activism in some form. C a t h y : I am hoping it will disappear because it is not C h e r i e : I think we should have one though. C a t h y : Just for the fun part? C h e r i e : Yeah, for the fun part. energized by our collective progress and thrilled by the foundation’s growth. What began 20 years ago as an attempt to fund lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organizations that had no other options for funding has grown to become a clearinghouse of information, funding and most importantly, relationships and connections. The money that Pride Foundation grants is no doubt important, but what we hear consistently is how much people value the way we bring our community together. That is why we asked volunteers to interview our grantees, scholars and donors for this year’s report. These conversations bring people together, to share their unique story and inspire others to build the world they want to live in. We have learned so much during our 20 years of grant-making, like the value of risk and creativity. We have witnessed great courage, leadership and care. And we have nurtured a community of people, growing each year, which is generous and thoughtful as we have become a national model of effective philanthropy. As we look to the next 20 years, we will undoubtedly see the fruits of our labor paying off in ways we cannot even imagine. Whenever I talk to Pride Foundation’s early board members and founders they are truly amazed at how far we’ve come in this relatively short time, far exceeding the goals they established two decades ago. We cannot know how quickly things will change, but with our A P RIL 2 0 07 – M A R C H 2 0 0 8 the depth and breadth of who we all are. I become From the Executive Director I am so moved by the stories contained here that illustrate twenty years I cry each year as I write this letter, I just can’t help it. They are happy, grateful, tears. continued determination I will remain optimistic and hopeful, and I hope you will as well. You make Pride Foundation successful. Whether you read this as a friend, a grantee or scholarship recipient, a donor or a volunteer, what you see here reflects your contributions toward our pursuit Thank you for all you do to make this simple idea so meaningful and so true. With Pride, Audrey Haberman Executive Director G r a t i t u d e R e p o r t 2 0 07–2 0 0 8 of equality. It all reminds me of our tagline that I love: Giving Together. Building Community. 1 H i s to ry: Twenty Years of Funding Equality In the spring of 1987 when Pride Foundation awarded our first grants — it was a historic and bold moment. Having spent nearly two years advocating for Pride Foundation and raising funds, the Board was honored to have $2,500 to support eight community agencies. W hile the numbers have grown significantly over the years, Pride Foundation remains honored that every year, thousands of donors share their dollars and passion — knowing that united, we can answer needs in the community and add volume to our collective voice that states: “equality is possible.” Over the last 20 years Pride Foundation has invested over $5.1 million in more than 560 unique organizations. What began as primarily serving the Seattle/King County area has grown tremendously to assist organizations throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. We continue to utilize community volunteers who make Pride Foundation’s granting decisions. These volunteers have the arduous and compelling task of reading and discussing every grant application that is submitted to us, in order to determine the best recipients for our dollars. 1997: Pride Foundation’s board celebrated when we reached the cumula- The variety of ways we support our community’s agencies have evolved over the years. Now in addition to our grants we have donor advised funds, workplace giving, the Advocacy Fund, Racial Equity and Queer Youth initiatives, along with estate gifts made through Pride Foundation. All this coupled with our scholarships for students is bringing about tremendous change and building leaders now and into the future.

Emma : M ar t ha : My partner Laura and I moved to stories with the other women and sharing a meal. That night, the group decided to name ourselves: Mujeres Diversas — Diverse Women. Seattle in 2002 and as we were trying to get to know the city and make new friends we got involved with the LGBT Latino group Entre Hermanos. We started going to their Latino Night event every Sunday, but we wanted more. We really wanted activities outside of the bar scene and a place were women felt comfortable having conversations and sharing information about our issues, like being out of the closet, identity and health. Emma : How did you go about naming the group? L a u ra : We have big dreams and I see all the Emma : M ar t ha : The first meeting was attended by a small group of women, but as we started to introduce ourselves we realized that the group was very rich and diverse in terms of nationalities, age, interest, and education, but we all had a common language: Spanish. L a u ra : The night went fast and everybody Entre Hermanos Entre Hermanos has received many grants from Pride Foundation over the years, but this was the first one for the new women’s program, Mujeres Diversas. Here the coordinators, Martha Zuniga and Laura Pedroza talk with Emma Moreno about how they started the group and their ambitious plans for the future. Now that the group is going, what are your plans for the future? M ar t ha : There are many ideas for programs and activities, and our future looks bright. One of our challenges is creating capacity among our members. There is a strong need to learn how to run a group, create programs and raise funds to sustain them. members of the group working for a common vision: Creating a Centro Cultural de Lesbianas in five years. We know that we need to start small and want to start with a class on English as a Second Language for the Mujeres Diversas.

You are leading by example and you are willing to be out there for the students and your peers. It is just really exciting. So who knows maybe some day you’ll have a student who wants a letter of recommendation for a Pride Foundation scholarship. Dr. Tammy Majeski, who Ta n i sha : That would be extremely cool! received scholarships It’s going to happen — you know it is. from Pride Foundation Ta n i sha : I am just waiting for that day! viewed Tanisha. Tanisha Gipson Tanisha Gipson, Pride Foundation scholar, has just finished her B.A. and is starting her Masters in Education. The first person in her family to go to college, she dreams of being a principal or school superintendent someday. I understand that you were the first person in your family to attend college. Is that right? A P RIL 2 0 07 – M A R C H 2 0 0 8 Tamm y : Ta n i sha : That is very correct. On both sides of my family. Was there someone that inspired you? Tamm y : Ta n i sha : I was a horrible student in math and I struggled so much with it. My middle Pride Foundation Scholarships This was another terrific year for scholarships! Pride Foundation awarded a record $203,134 to 94 students, with our average award amount increasing from $2,034 to $2,161! This brings Pride Foundation’s lifetime scholarship awards to $1,155,022 to 655 Scholars! More students than ever applied for scholarships this year and there were 4 new scholarships to award. The students showcase our community’s diversity, both in their backgrounds and in their areas of study. 2007/08 New Scholarships Longres Scholarship: for students of color studying social work Rosenberg-Ibarra Scholarship: for Idaho high school graduates or those attending college in Idaho Political Leadership Scholarship: for the study of law, political science or public policy school math teacher and my high school math teacher were married, and they were both an inspiration to me. They would spend extra time during lunch or after school with me and I got the sense that they really cared and they wanted me to get it. And after that I thought, “I don’t have to stop here in high school. I am going to go on to college and I am going to be the first one to go to college and graduate.” So that was a little extra TLC that I needed, just someone to put a little extra time in their day to care about me and it spiraled from there. So you want to run your own school someday? Tamm y : Ta n i sha : Yes, definitely. Maybe be superinten- dant one day. I am reaching high there.

The scope of the conference has changed dramatically, from a focus on FTM’s (female to male transsexuals) to a larger examination of gender and recently to support for families with kids who defy gender norms. I know what it takes to build a transgender organization. Can you tell me about your early efforts, the ones that led up to the conference? M arsha : A i da n : It started for me with examining my Aidan talked about his work with Marsha Botzer, who founded Seattle’s Ingersoll Gender Center in 1977. own gender and coming to a realization that I was interested in going through a gender transition from female to male. I didn’t want to lose my community and friends because of the internal journey I was going through. So the way I started was by having conversations with family and friends. These conversations grew into larger, public ones, specifically related to gender issues in the lesbian community. That was when I began to learn about group dynamics and how hard it is to create an environment where people could open up and share what is in their hearts and minds. I started learning how to tease out those conversations that I knew were at the core. Because if we don’t have those conversations, where people put their real thoughts out, we are going to get nowhere. M arsha : What are some of the top questions from folks when they come to the conference? P RID E FOUNDATION A i da n : They want to talk 10 about their lives, relationships, their bodies, and health issues. Folks are showing up to gain a sense of community because of a pretty overwhelming sense of isolation that most of us feel, either often or at least occasionally. That is the common theme of those that come to the conference. Also a high number of partners and family members, who want to learn more, understand more or are striving to create community for themselves, attend the conference. We have between 300 and 500 people attending every year, and it keeps getting bigger. The conference is on the cutting edge now, dealing with families of young children who don’t follow gender norms. Tell me about this work. M arsha : A i da n : Meeting these children and seeing the challenges that they are in the midst of, it added an importance to my own work that I hadn’t anticipated. The kids are wanting to wear the clothes they want to wear, engage in play activities that they want to do, or go by the names that they want to be referred to. And then they are faced with a society that makes it very unsafe for a child to express gender variance. Whether it is playground bullying, or recent examples and how what we view as childhood teasing can turn into violence with a gun and death. So the fears that these parents have for their children are very real. Providing a place for these families to connect with each other is a lifeline for them. I have talked with most of the families that come to the conference individually before they show up. They are coming from all over the country. I hear how alone they feel, how much they want to support their kids and their fears that they are not doing the right thing. The criticism they have endured from other family members, or from neighbors for simply loving and supporting their child. They show up to this conference and they meet families like themselves and it catapults them out of their fear into forward thinking and action. It gives them hope for their kids, because they see transgender adults and many of us have relationships and people that love us and jobs. M arsha : This is truly exciting work! A i da n : I have to say that you and Ingersoll put Seattle on the map around gender identity. Look at what incredible ground work Ingersoll has done! We couldn’t do this work if that hadn’t already been done 20-30 years ago. We have fertile soil to work in because of what you have done. Pride Foundation honors these individuals for their courage to commit today so others may benefit tomorrow. Visionaries are people who have included Pride Foundation in their wills or planned gifts.

She is a student at Portland Community College where she is enrolled in the Sign Language Interpretation Program. She lives in Vancouver, WA with her partner, Jane and their two dogs. Anjela, how did you first hear about Pride Foundation? S t e ph e n : A n j e la : I might have seen it in Just Out (Port- land’s LGBT paper), advertising about scholarships. That is very cool. What do you think are the biggest needs in the LGBT community? How do you see the community evolving over the next few years? S t e ph e n : A n j e la : It seems like we are start- ing to have more visibility, especially in the media, but it’s not always positive. Sometimes it feels like the stereotypes are getting perpetuated. We need to see that gay people have families and relationships and jobs, and all this normal stuff; that they are not this eccentric special group. That is a big thing for me. Because I think it is helpful not only for people who aren’t gay, but for people who are gay, to have more pride in themselves and see themselves out there. It’s important to see the success, but also the struggles too. I want to see myself more in the world. I agree with that. One thing that you may not know is that Pride Foundation has given a lot of grants to non-gay groups. So there is this whole strategy of community building with other groups and showing that the gay community is not just interested in ourselves but we are interested in building bridges with other communities. S t e ph e n : Stephen Silha, a donor and volunteer since 1989, talked with Anjela about giving to Pride Foundation and her aspirations for the P RID E FOUNDATION world we live in. 14 And I have a friend who won a Pride Foundation scholarship for school. Seeing how it helped her was really powerful. I am curious about what prompted you to make your first donation to the Pride Foundation this year? S t e ph e n : A n j e la : Actually it was related to my experi- ence as a student, because one of the important things is paying for school. I applied for a Pride Foundation scholarship last year and didn’t get it. They contacted me and I thought that if it was something that I wanted to benefit from, then it is also a good thing to participate in and donate to. It sounds like a really worthy cause and something that I know is going to be a part of my life in the future. So I wanted to start that relationship. A n j e la : That is powerful because it shows that we have our differences, but there is so much similarity in our struggles. It is powerful to see us working together. I didn’t know about that. Have you given any thought to getting more involved with the Pride Foundation or the LGBT community? S t e ph e n : A n j e la : Yes. Right now my focus is school. In the past I was involved with youth and I really enjoyed mentoring. I like providing that support, especially with gay and lesbian youth, because there’s just not the same amount of role models for them. I think about how my life could have been if I had somebody to talk to and had that support and had that example of a good life, as a gay person. That is something that I want to do for others.

Norton & Patricia J. Bettasso Mary Nowlin Rev. Teresa L. Nunn & M. Stephanie Holloway Profile: Profile: Tasveer El i za : Tell me about a memorable moment from a past film festival. El i za : F arah : At the first South Asian film festival, F arah : We don’t [get pushback] because the we screened the film, Summer in my Veins, and members of Trikone [a South Asian LGBT support/ social group] spoke out on a panel after the film. For many in the audience who were South Asians, and many who weren’t, it was the first exposure to South Asians that were queer. N e e l u : I cried throughout the film. It is a film of the director coming out to his mother and he is videotaping the whole process. It was absolutely touching, the mother was accepting of him. F arah : There were a lot of tears that night. I remember a lot of people hugging and feeling joyous as well, all at the same time. Feeling like, “we did it” we were able to do this because it is such a big step to come out into the community like that. Tasveer Tasveer, Hindi/Urdu for ‘picture’, produces the International South Asian Film Festival in Seattle. Since its beginning in 2004 Tasveer has been showing LGBT themed films at the festival, and they received their first Pride Foundation grant for this year’s film festival which will have an LGBT focus. Have you gotten any pushback from the audiences about having LGBT films? way that we started and the way that we’ve always been is that we have been pushing our audiences on every level. Not only with sexuality, but we showed this film that was banned in India and no one else was showing it. So they kind of expect this sort of thing for us. [Having LGBT films] it’s not something necessarily new to the festival, but to actually do a real focus on it is what will be different. How are queer people regarded in S. Asian cultures? El i za : N e e l u : The attitudes towards queer people in S. Asian communities are as wide as those in any other community. You can see celebration, oppression, there is acceptance and avoidance. There is tolerance and absolutely brutal bigotry. And there is respect. The ISAFF will be held September 24-28, 2008 in Seattle, WA.

He became a Pride Foundation donor for the first time this year. Do you give to other organizations, or was giving to Pride Foundation a new thing? M at t: G e o rg e : I am involved in several nonprofits and charities that I support, including the Humane Society as well as gay and lesbian causes such as Lambda Legal, The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). I also like to support poverty reduction in the community. George Grubb talked about his giving and what he gets from it with Matt Hornyak, who participated in some of the earliest conversations about Pride Foundation and is now a member of Pride Foundation Black Hills steering committee. What I feel like I have gotten back from supporting these organizations is a sense of identity, a sense of autonomy and a sense of courage. These organizations have taught me that it is ok to be who I am. I don’t need to apologize to exist. Let me ask you a question. It seems like the biggest news for Pride Foundation lately has been Ric Weiland’s (estate gift to Pride Foundation). As a long time donor, how do you see that gift impacting the larger scope and vision of the Pride Foundation? M a t t h e w : I have given that quite a bit of thought. Ric Weiland’s bequest will be a “prime the pump” type of a gesture and not only will it have a lasting effect because of its own magnitude, but it will also have a ripple effect in a positive way to make people think, “I should be doing that. I should be doing some estate planning myself” and thinking about what organizations I give to and build that into my planning. G e o rg e : Ironically, last week I just finished P RID E FOUNDATION H e ar m o r e ! Listen to this entire interview at PrideFoundation.org. 20 doing my estate for the first time and it certainly played a role in my thinking as I was laying out the scope of my estate and naming foundations and types of works (to benefit from it). So on one level it served as a role model. And where it would be great to leave that type of donation for this organization, I realize anything, no matter how small, is helpful. So, you made your first gift to Pride Foundation this year. What prompted you? M at t h e w: G e o rg e : I have to credit junk mail. I got a mailing from Pride Foundation and I thought, “I’ve never heard of this organization before.” I just ripped through the envelope and started reading about it and was about to throw it away. And then the concept of a non profit organization that is designed to benefit smaller non profits jumped off the page and it made sense to me. And I thought, “I can so see the need for something like this.” Kathy Dorr Nathan Dors Edwina Dorsey Steve Dotterrer Linda Dougherty Kevin & Elaine Dow Vanessa Downer Patt Doyle Jen Drapkin Chris Drilias & Suzanne Goodell Michael DuBois Peggi Dubois Nicolette Ducommun & Brad Stone Natalie Duffy Karen S.

Beth: Give me a little background information about you. Beth: C hr i s : I use male pronouns in referring to C hr i s : I am also studying humanities, poverty myself and consider myself to be a “trans person.” I’m a junior at Seattle University and my primary area of study is veterinary medicine. I also volunteer at a local veterinary hospital and work in the campus library. Recently, I came out at the hospital and the library and requested that male pronouns be used in referring to me, and both the hospital and library staff have been supportive in recognizing my choice of pronouns. Chris Burns Chris Burns, received a Pride Foundation scholarship in 2007 to study veterinary medicine. Chris was chosen for a scholarships because of his years of community service and strong educational goals. in America, policing in Seattle, and philosophy of the human person. I am coming to understand the connection between vet medicine and poverty, for example, by recognizing the importance of providing health care to animals even when an owner does not have the ability to pay for the care. What were your biggest challenges in completing the Pride Foundation scholarship application? Beth: Chris talked with Beth Jacoby, a volunteer with the scholarhsip program, C hr i s : The essay word limits!! On the other about his studies and hand, I found the questions fair and liked their open-endedness. gender identity. What do you want to tell people about gender identity issues? Beth: C hr i s : I want to help people learn how to educate themselves about gender identity, including an understanding of the basics, such as the difference between the concepts of transgender, transsexual, gender neutral, and intersex. I myself dedicated a year to researching intersex and gender ambiguity issues. What attitudes about gender identity would you like to see change? Beth: C hr i s : Gender is fluid, and dealing with gender identity issues requires an intersection of many of the traditional GLBT communities. I’m still “in motion” on my gender identity journey, and I advised those who are struggling with their own gender identity to have fun with it and if a particular gender role doesn’t seem right, try something new.

The growth reflects the incredible gift Ric Weiland made both to our endowment and in establishing the Weiland Designated Fund, noted as the Donor Designated Portfolio, which will be distributed over the next 8 years to ten national organizations Ric selected. Because Ric’s gift was to Pride Foundation’s endowment, we will not be able to begin spending any of its earnings until FY 2008/09. Contributions from individuals continue to overwhelmingly support our work, comprising 88% of all revenue (including individual contributions, workplace contributions, and bequests). Both grants and scholarships grew this year as did Regional Leadership Development, which includes the new Racial Equity and Queer Youth Initiatives, along with the mobilizing, training and organizing of hundreds of volunteers across the Northwest. 1122 E.
