PFund builds community and provides resources for LGBTQ+ individuals across the upper Midwest and the First Nations therein. The foundation actively supports marginalized groups within the LGBTQ+ community, including Queer People of Color, Gender-Expansive people, and LGBT individuals in North and South Dakota, recognizing the diverse challenges they face due to factors like age, race/ethnicity, geography, disability, income, and gender.
The PRISM Fund, created by PFund Foundation, aims to support rural LGBTQ+ organizations within its five-state service area. In its inaugural round, it awarded $125,000 to 17 rural-serving queer organizations across the Upper Midwest and plans to award 5 - 10 additional grants in 2023. PFund Foundation's broader goals include elevating support for marginalized subpopulations within the LGBTQ+ community to achieve equitable outcomes. This includes a strong commitment to Queer People of Color, evidenced by their launch of a $90,000 emergency fund during the COVID-19 pandemic to help queer entrepreneurs of color in Minneapolis, and Gender-Expansive People, acknowledging the discriminatory challenges they face. Furthermore, the foundation is developing targeted outreach programs like PRISM grants to support LGBTQ+ individuals living in rural areas, specifically in North and South Dakota, addressing the unique challenges they encounter.
