Cumulative Giving Levels

Cliff Pettit Fellows Program

The Cliff Pettit Fellow Program honors donors who have contributed a cumulative total of $1,000 or more. Donations are accumulative, allowing donors to achieve higher recognition levels throughout their lifetime.


To maintain or restore active voting membership, donors must make a contribution of at least $350 during the 12 months leading up to the Foundation’s Annual Meeting.


One of the best ways to achieve both Foundation membership and Cliff Pettit Fellow status is through the Annual Giving Program. By setting up a monthly contribution, you can quickly reach Fellow status while enjoying the benefits of being an Annual Giving Patron.

  • Matching Grants

With a matching grant, the donor agrees to match the gifts of others up to a specific dollar amount within a designated period, effectively doubling or even tripling the value of each contribution.


    This dynamic approach energizes giving and significantly expands the reach of the Foundation’s programs and services, allowing us to make an even greater impact in the LGBTQ+ community.


    For more information about how you or your organization can participate in a matching grant, please contact us directly. Together, we can make a meaningful difference!
