Pride Foundation Australia Exists Because...
What do we do?
Despite achieving marriage equality in 2017, many Australian LGBTQIA+ communities still face significant disadvantages and discrimination.
Pride Foundation Australia is a national philanthropic foundation run by volunteers, specifically focused on addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender diverse, queer, intersex, asexual and other LGBTQIA+ community issues in Australia through targeted funding around dedicated research, training development and community support.
Pride Foundation Australia supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and commits through the resources it has available to them, to work with, for, and alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy peoples and communities to embed a self-determined future.
We further commit the contribution of a significant proportion of grant funding received, to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy led initiatives to improve social outcomes.
