The Lutheran Church of the Foothills, through the Hellene Henrikson Fund, aims to continue the legacy of Hellene Henrikson's generosity by supporting nonprofit organizations in Tucson. Born from a significant contribution from Hellene Henrikson at her passing in 2018, the fund focuses on areas selected annually, reflecting Hellene's commitment to supporting her community and church throughout her life.
The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund grant program aims to support projects falling into areas of interest related to the LGBTQ+ community, with special consideration for collaborations, measurable outcomes, and sustainable initiatives. The Fund seeks to serve the LGBTQ+ community by funding programs that create equity, solidarity, and advance gender, racial, and economic justice. It supports projects focused on LGBTQ+ community building, transgender issues, youth and elder issues, and offers general operating support to organizations that primarily serve the LGBTQ+ community in Southern Arizona. Grants are open to organizations at different levels of engagement with the LGBTQ+ community, from those with a primary mission to serve the LGBTQ+ community to those aspiring to enhance their work with or support the LGBTQ+ community.
