Community Grants
PFund Community Grants are for LGBTQ+ serving nonprofits in the Upper Midwest. These grants range from $1,000-$20,000+ and include organizational membership to the PFund Leadership Institute, a monthly cohort based learning and networking opportunity.
We’re making it easier to get support from PFund so that our nonprofit partners can focus on their missions.

A single application for all of our program grant funds (PRISM, TRANScend, Bi+ Funds), modeled after the Minnesota Common Grant Application
A single award letter, payment and report for all PFund grant funds received
General operating funds
In addition to general operating dollars, PFund will expand support beyond the dollar with:
