RESOURCES THAT YOU MAY FIND HELPFUL
In addition to questions about Donations and Grants, we receive a number of phone calls and emails each week from individuals seeking specific information about a variety of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) issues. There is a wealth of available resources. The main challenges, however, are to not only find them but to determine which ones represent a relevant, reliable and accurate body of information and support.
In an effort to help you, we have put together this partial list of organizations in which we have confidence. We have provided links to their respective websites. Most, if not all, of the questions you may have about GLBT issues should be found here. If any go unanswered, please feel free to contact us. We will do our best to resolve any outstanding questions.
