History Doesn't Happen by Chance – Give to Your LGBT Community Today! horizons foundation QGiving Guide History doesn’t happen by chance – give to your LGBT community today! Unprecedented gains towards marriage equality –16 states and counting. Advancing towards federal non-discrimination protections. Transgender rights. LGBT rights around the world. If you’ve said to yourself even once these last few years, “I never thought it would happen in my lifetime,” it’s time now to say thanks. Good things happen –and people get the real help they need – largely because of the amazing hard work of nonprofit organizations and volunteers.But hard work alone isn’t enough. Volunteers alone are rarely enough. Nonprofits also need money. It’s the generosity of donors – individuals, couples, families – that fuels our movement and makes sure that everyone in our community can lead a safe, healthy, and dignified life. This year, celebrate all our hard-won gains by making year-end gifts to support LGBT organizations. Your contributions, large and small, to whatever organizations, causes, or campaigns you’re most passionate about make a world of difference. About the QGiving Guide Horizons Foundation’s research shows that less than five percent of LGBT people in the Bay Area give to LGBT causes – many of us say that we simply don’t know what nonprofits we can give to. The QGiving Guide is designed to help you learn more about the LGBT organizations doing important work here in the Bay Area – and to Give today encourage you to give. All organizations have very brief descriptions; you can find out more on their websites. We have arranged the to Bay Area LGBT organizations making a organizations by general categories, though some groups could easily fit under more than one area. From civil rights to music, social difference in our community. For convenient activities to violence prevention, there’s a community organization that links to all of the nonprofits listed in this Guide, needs your help – and LGBT people who depend on its work. visit www.horizonsfoundation.org/give Horizons Foundation’s QGiving Guide is not affiliated with Qgiv, Inc. horizons foundation QGiving LGBT Aging Issues Network www.asaging.org/lain Programs to improve the quality of life Oakland East Bay Gay Men’s Chorus for LGBT elders www.oebgmc.org Men’s singing group Marriage Equality USA www.marriageequality.org Out in the Bay Advocacy for the freedom to marry for Arts & www.outinthebay.com same-sex couples Weekly half-hour radio show Culture Awareness National AIDS Memorial Grove Community OutLook Theater Project www.aidsmemorial.org AIRspace www.outlooktheaterproject.org A living tribute to all lives touched by AIDS Ensemble-based performances of original & Civil Building [email protected] material National Center for Lesbian Rights 12-week residency program for Bay Asian and Pacific Islander (NCLR) Area queer performance artists.

  • 2003 Annual Report Breast Cancer Action
    Breast Cancer Action Annual Report 2003 Coming Together: Moving From Illness to Activism Founded by a group of women who realized the power of community, Breast Cancer Action was born from a need for a grassroots organization with a unique understanding of the political, economic, and social context of breast cancer. Today BCA’s mission is to carry the voices of people affected by breast cancer in order to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end this epidemic. Never straying far from our community-based roots, and with a keen eye toward structural change, BCA organizes people to do something besides worry about breast cancer. 2003 was an extraordinary year for our organization and our movement. We came togeth- er in entirely new ways. New bridges were built. New steps were taken. Bold moves for- ward were made. Our community grew exponentially and our critical messages—that every woman should have access to information and care, that we need true prevention of breast cancer, and that we must develop more effective and less toxic treatments—reached an ever- growing audience. Together we demanded, and ultimately effected, lasting change. Information: The Key to Activism Information is an essential precursor to action. BCA has always been committed to providing accurate, reliable, and honest information about breast cancer. We reach the public through our English- and Spanish-language newsletters, our web site, and a toll-free number. By pro- viding information, BCA both enables people to make informed decisions for themselves and supports their activism. In 2003, we mailed the BCA Newsletter to an expanding list of more than 12,000 individu- als and institutions.

However, many reporters, editors and producers continue to face challenges covering these issues in a complex, often rhetorically charged, climate. Media coverage of LGBT people has become increasingly multi-dimensional, reflecting both the diversity of our community and the growing visibility of our families and our relationships. As a result, reporting that remains mired in simplistic, predictable “pro-gay”/”anti-gay” dualisms does a disservice to readers seeking information on the diversity of opinion and experience within our community. Misinformation and misconceptions about our lives can be corrected when journalists diligently research the facts and expose the myths (such as pernicious claims that gay people are more likely to sexually abuse children) that often are used against us.

  • Annual Report 2014 Fueling the LGBT Movement Letter from the Board Chair & Executive Director
    Annual Report 2014 Fueling the LGBT Movement Letter from the Board Chair & Executive Director This report is about 2014. Yet as this letter is written in 2015, it’s impossible not to start by recognizing the spectacular recent progress of the movement for the rights and dignity of LGBT people: the move to eliminate the ban on transgender people serving in the military; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruling that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal; and, of course, the grand marriage victory at the Supreme Court. As we celebrate this dramatic progress, we all know that it comes out of the passion and sacrifices of countless people and the unflagging work of thousands of nonprofit groups, large and small. A relative few make headlines or become well known, but it is the many – not just the few – who make social change happen. These triumphs belong to all of us. Horizons Foundation has had the great privilege of not only being part of many of these historic events, but helping to shape and fuel them. The foundation has been there early. It’s been there often. It’s been there again and again and again. Our first grant for work on LGBT marriage equality, for example, goes back nearly two decades. Our first grant in support of transgender rights happened nearly as long ago. Horizons made the first grant anywhere to fight HIV. As this report relates, the year 2014 – the foundation’s 34th year – built on this powerful legacy. We are especially glad to share the remarkable list of grants made to organizations in every part of the LGBT community, as well as indicators of strong financial growth.

As one part of the evidence, Shapiro presents statements from taped interviews made by celebrities and TV show creators from Hollywood whom he interviewed for the book. The book include quotes from, among others, the co-creator of Friends , Marta Kauffman, and the creator of Soap and the Golden Girls , Susan Harris.
