transgender (LGBT) communities in the Upper Midwest by funding change, developing leaders, inspiring giving,
and convening and reporting on issues of importance within our communities. We are working to change
attitudes, change systems, and break down barriers at the intersection of our identities — orientation, gender,

race, culture — to achieve social justice.
PFund is a catalyst in building communities in Minnesota
and the Upper Midwest where lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people are celebrated and live free
from discrimination, violence, invisibility, and isolation.

annually awards more than $150,000 in grants and
scholarships to LGBT and allied communities in

2010 PFund scholar
Nate Irvin tells his story
acting together, changing our future
Community foundations exist to gather together all of the small and large gifts from a community and to then
move those gifts toward organizations and individuals that are in a position to make significant impact on that
same community. This is absolutely what acting together means – bringing together what we have, in order to
leverage something much greater than what we can do alone.
This is how and why PFund started, when, in 1987, four gay men met to respond to the rising AIDS epidemic.
They decided that, no matter what happened, there would be a legacy left behind to make sure that someday,
no community member would ever experience discrimination or hardship because of their sexual orientation
or gender identity. Initially, the group approached an existing community foundation, but the organization
agreed to accept the gift only if the group remained closeted. So, the founders carried out PFund’s first act of
social justice by refusing to compromise who they were in order to ensure their future. Acting together, they
created PFund and started something completely new. We continue to build on that legacy of justice and self
determination, along with you.

Most international tracking organizations measure a generation
as being 25 years in length. This means that, in 2012, PFund will
complete our first generation! In 1987, when Jim Quinn, Gregg
White, David Berchenbriter and Bill Zwart first pooled $2,000 to
create a fund that would support the ongoing building of LGBT
community, the needs and celebrations of the LGBT community
were different from today – but in many ways similar.
Nationally, in 1987, ACT-UP (the Aids Coalition to Unleash Power)
was established in New York. The Second National March on
Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place in October
1987, with 200,000 participants gathering around a platform that
included the legal recognition of lesbian and gay relationships,
the repeal of sodomy laws, the passage of a congressional lesbian
and gay civil rights bill, an end to discrimination against all people
with AIDS, a call for reproductive freedom, and an end to racism.
More locally, in 1987, the Minnesota Supreme Court refused to rule
on the constitutionality of the state’s anti-sodomy law, allowing
the law to remain on the books, and many of our older local
organizations, including PFund and OutFront Minnesota (then the
Gay and Lesbian Community Action Council), were founded.
This report highlights the work PFund has done over the past
year on the issue of LGBT aging. Twenty-five years ago, LGBT
seniors were mostly in their 40s, 50s and 60s. They were the first
generation to organize in large numbers and celebrate themselves
towards greater safety, equality and visible community. As you
read through these pages, notice what has changed (and what
has not) and take a minute to imagine the next generation of 25
years. Acting together, this is the future we are seeking to change.
PFund thanks every one of you for your gifts of money, time,
attention and hope that make it possible for us to change our
future together.

> Very few agencies offer LGBT-specific programs or outreach, and
about half of the agencies support the idea of offering LGBT-specific

and only two had received a request to help a transgender person.
