About Us
Local scholarship fund providing LGBTQIA+ students with tuition, living funds, and educational program opportunities at the College of the Desert and other academic institutions in the Coachella Valley. We began as a grassroots fund in 2018 and grew to a successful fund of over 195 awarded scholarships with a total of more than $230,000. We became a 501c3 in 2024 because we wanted the ability to have large fundraising events. Our largest upcoming event will be "Fantasy Prom", March 7, 2026, at the Palm Springs Suf Club. This will be the adults' second chance at a prom they always wanted.
