GIVING BACK

Through these partnerships, we aim to deliver measurable impact to better our community and support our Circle of Friends. The following are our current non-profit community partners. For details on previous beneficiary organizations and our selection process, refer to details on the Grass Roots Gay Rights Foundation website.
