New grant partners in June
We added twelve grant partners to our network in June and expanded our dynamic community! These incredible organizations build queer power and work in AAPI communities with a gender-responsive approach. In addition to shifts in our grantmaking approach, we’re proud to share that we closed our fiscal year by investing more money into our wonderful community than at any point in our organization’s history.

The percentage of our 401(k) that goes to fossil fuels
