GRANTS

Equality Loudoun aims to support the incredible work of Loudoun's allied community by awarding micro-grants that support queer-inclusive initiatives, groups, and projects. The Board of Directors selects recipients throughout year that will receive a grant to support their mission.

The program requires only a simple application that can be filled out by any business, group, organization, non-profit, teacher, or parent. The projects are evaluated by our Board and awarded within about 1 month. To apply, you need to be 18 years old or older and the person who is requesting the financial award.

PURPOSE

The program supports inclusive events, programs, and initiatives intended to build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. Since inception, we have supported book clubs, support groups, student groups, and business events. Prior recipients included the Loudoun County Pride Prom, Birch Tree Book Club, PFLAG Loudoun, Finnegan's Irish Bar & Grill, and multiple schools. In 2025, we have dedicated $2,500 in total funds.
