Horizon funds allow donors and organizations to contribute amounts while building the fund up to the $10,000 endowment fund level, according to Executive Director Susan Carey.
“What began 10 years ago as a small grassroots initiative has grown into a vibrant regional hub for advocacy, education and support,” Carey said. “After 10 years of committed work, Equality Springfield continues to champion dignity, safety and celebration for all LGBTQ+ people, striving toward a future where every individual can live openly and authentically.”
Equality Springfield offers inclusive programs for the LGBTQ+ community, including its annual Pride Festival and Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil. The organization also plays a broader role by sponsoring events, volunteering and fostering connections across the community.
Kyle Scott, member emeritus on the Equality Springfield Board of Directors, said they’re thrilled and proud to begin this new fund.
“This initiative reflects our organization’s commitment to a more just and inclusive future,” Scott said. “We invite partners, allies and community members to join us in supporting this enduring commitment to equality and belonging.”
