We are humbly requesting Financial Assistance from benevolent and
generous people like your organization who will support us..
We are dedicated and truly determined to continue the Mission of: 'Help
Minnesota People of Color LGBTQ+PRIDE.' We would like to continue doing all
of the 'Life Changing' work, that we, are doing in the Community. We need help
from you! We are appealing to your kind heartedness, to provide the Funding
to see that, we continue in our Service to the Minneapolis and St. Paul ,
Minnesota Cities and more of our State, as well.
Since 2014, MN POC PRIDE focused on identifying with; and connecting
with LQBTQ+People of Color across the State. I would like to mention some
of the many Services we directly advocate from Person-to-Person: Civic
Engagement, HIV Health Advocacy Equity and Equality, and more. Now,
Our Signature, Trademark/Hallmark: "TWIN CITIES BLACK PRIDE FESTIVAL
WEEKEND." Actually we began this last mention of The Festival, because
we began as 'BLACK PRIDE' in the year 1999. We have worked up to this
year 2021, making every effort possible to enhance the quality of life for
all LGBTQ+PEOPLE OF COLOR and their families living in our State, a chance
to experience 'EQUALITY' for ALL. We try to foster 'AWARENESS' about both
Individual Commonalities and Differences in all Peoples.
The year 2020, was especially difficult for our organization. We had to re-
envision our Service model of accommodations. Covid-19 interrupted our
working together on many levels with many other organizations and many
individuals. They helped us make successful Community Events and a
variety of Community Engagement Opportunities.
During that very, very difficult time, 60% of our revenues came through
Corporate Contributions and Foundation grants. The remaining 40% was
raised through our "Fundraising" efforts and Contributions from kind
and supportive Individuals like you.
Today, we understand the necessity of having a plan in place. We would like
to be prepared to "Weather the Storm" In the near future. Our focus, is on
understanding the relief options, that the State and Federal provide as well.
