The Legacy Fund has sponsored a wide range of efforts – from community events and cultural programming to advocacy and capacity-building projects. All funded initiatives share a common goal: advancing power-building in historically underserved communities and supporting lasting, transformative impact.

At TruEvolution, we believe meaningful change starts with empowering those most impacted. Our commitment to intentional, collaborative partnerships drives this program. Through investing in grassroots organizations, we aim to amplify local leadership, promote sustainability, and create a ripple effect of positive change aligned with our core values of health equity and racial justice.

TruEvolution offers two distinct pathways to support organizational needs through the Legacy Fund:

  • Community Sponsorship: This option provides direct funding for projects, programs, or events.
  • Fiscal Sponsorship: This option is for groups that do not have 501(c)(3) status and need a partner to receive and manage funds. Fiscal sponsorship is offered by invitation only and is funded through an external grantor.

We invite local nonprofits, collectives, and community groups dedicated to LGBTQ+ advocacy, health equity, racial justice, public health, and social change to partner with us through the Legacy Fund. If your organization is working to build capacity, increase community power, or support transformative efforts, we encourage you to apply for sponsorship and join us in building a stronger, more equitable future.
