In this episode, I’m talking with Katie Carter, CEO of the Pride Foundation. The Pride Foundation was founded in the mid-80’s in the midst of the HIV/AIDS crisis. It’s a community foundation that stands on the shoulders of generations of leaders who brought the courage to truly see one another, the compassion to recognize our shared humanity, and the conviction to show up every day to protect one another. One the last few decades, the Pride Foundation has raised and invested over $70 million in LGBTQ communities to ensure that all LGBTQ people are able to live safely and openly as our whole selves in the communities we call home.

In the episode, Katie and I talk about what the HIV/AIDS crisis can teach us about the COVID pandemic and how we respond to marginalized communities, the challenge with data gaps that make the LGBTQ community invisible, and how for many grantees and recipients of scholarship funds just knowing that someone cares is more important than the money itself.
