Our Purpose

We’re proud of the growing number of organizations that share our mission to end discrimination and promote healthy lives for the LGBTQ+ community. Through The HCAI Fund, we provide financial support for these groups, particularly those that address basic needs, safety and wellness, stigma and discrimination, equality, and education. Some of our past grant recipients include the New Haven Pride Center, The Yale Gender Program, The Jim Collins Foundation, and The Youth Continuum. Together, we can make our mission a movement.
