The HCAI Fund

We’re proud of the growing number of organizations that share our mission to end discrimination and promote healthy lives for the LGBTQ+ community. Through The HCAI Fund, we provide financial support for these groups, particularly those that address basic needs, safety and wellness, stigma and discrimination, equality, and education. Some of our past grant recipients include the New Haven Pride Center, The Yale Gender Program, The Jim Collins Foundation, and The Youth Continuum. Together, we can make our mission a movement.

Funding will be considered for 501(c)3 organizations whose mission aligns with ours, and that address one or more of the following areas for members of the LGBTQ+ community. For the full list of parameters, please refer to our grant guidelines.
