Beyond Pride Grant

Through this program, the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement aims to strengthen community connections, support the well-being of residents, and promote equal access to opportunities and resources for Boston’s LGBTQIA2S+ community.

The Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement's Beyond Pride Grant Fund supports community-based organizations serving Boston's LGBTQIA2S+ community. Funds will assist in the implementation of LGBTQIA2S+-affirming programs in Boston. These projects must address real LGBTQIA2S+ community needs and offer long-term benefits aligned with community priorities and needs related to LGBTQIA2S+ advancement work. Organizations doing work within intersectional communities such as older adults, youth, BIPOC, disabilities, and gender expansive are encouraged to apply. By supporting programs that address real community needs, the grant helps ensure Boston remains a welcoming and inclusive city for all.

For this year’s grant cycle, we continue to prioritize programming and events aligned with the needs and priorities identified in MOLA’s community survey, completed in Summer 2025. This decision reflects our commitment to addressing the key areas our constituents highlighted and ensuring grant funding goes to initiatives that resonate most with the community we serve.
