The Rainbow Fund will grant dollars to LGBTQIA+ nonprofit organizations in Southern New Mexico with a primary focus on supporting, lifting up and providing needed services to our queer communities. The Rainbow Committee strives to continue raising funds, awareness, and collaboration within LGBTQIA+ groups.
Grant funds can support direct programming while also helping individuals and families that may be in need within our queer communities.
