Gamma Mu Foundation
The Gamma Mu Foundation is a non-profit charitable foundation that seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of the LGBTQ+ community, primarily in rural and underserved populations of the United States.
The Gamma Mu Foundation's commitment to uplifting underserved LGBTQ+ youth strengthened my path of becoming a first-generation college graduate. As a young, rural, and out high school student, I saw the Foundation's work and leadership as a testament to the strength, tenacity, and success of the LGBTQ+ community.

Grants Program
The Gamma Mu Foundation supports local LGBTQ+ community organizations, empowering them to expand their reach, enhance services, and build stronger, more inclusive environments.
The Foundation’s grants focus on three key program areas:
Community Support Services: Activities proposed to meet the needs of rural communities and underserved LGBTQ+ populations, such as young people, seniors, and victims of bullying, and promote empowerment and inclusivity.
Public Education and Research: Initiatives designed to increase awareness and understanding of LGBTQ+ issues, foster a more inclusive environment for the community, and establish a foundation for evidence-based advocacy.
HIV and Health Programs: Interventions designed to meet the needs of persons, caregivers, and families impacted by HIV and other health conditions (e.g., aging and mental health), including support and outreach activities.
Scholarships Program
