About the organisation
The Pride Foundation Australia (PFA) is a national philanthropic foundation and one of few organisations that is specifically focused on funding lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) issues in Australia. PFA actively works to increase philanthropic support for the Australian LGBTIQ and allied communities through fundraising, grant giving, collaboration and commissioning projects. PFA adopts a social change model of philanthropy and has a dedicated focus on advancing equity for the most disadvantaged LGBTIQ Australians, including advocating for systemic change. Specific LGBTIQ focus areas to date have been ageing, homelessness and disability; and a new focus area on asylum seekers and refugees is underway.
Since our first grant in 2010, PFA has made $425k in grants (46 large and 79 small grants) to which other philanthropic funds have contributed an additional $600k in co-funding.
PFA is entirely volunteer- run with a Board of LGBTIQ leaders located around Australia.
