What would be a “dream come true” for your organization?
To have the resources to meet the needs of every LGBTQ-serving non-profit in South Florida.
Where would you like to see your organization in 10 years?
I would like for The Our Fund Foundation to be the largest LGBTQ community foundation in the country to reinforce for LGBTQ people outside of South Florida that this is the most livable place in the country for our community.
