3 2014-2015 Annual Report Executive Message

Dear Friends, Since 2001, Point Foundation has helped LGBTQ students move forward in life despite barriers they face because of financial difficulties and their and/or sexual orientation. To date, we have invested more than $18 million in the and support of our scholars, and developed an intergenerational community of LGBTQ and allied professionals. These achievements inspire the hashtag campaign we are using this year on , urging LGBTQ students to #PointTo a college education, #PointTo greater opportunities, and #PointTo a brighter future, by applying for a Point Foundation Scholarship. The forward momentum of Point and our scholars is because of your generosity and that of many visionary supporters. This year, the Elton John AIDS Foundation made it possible for 12 Point Scholars to have internships with non- profit organizations addressing HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in communities across the U.S. With support and hands-on help from our directors, trustees, honorary board members, and mentors, we also launched our new Leadership Education and Affinities Development (LEAD) Consortiums this year. Each LEAD Consortium focuses on specific professions, such as business, entertainment, and medicine. LEAD Consortiums offer our scholars and alumni, as well as high school and community college students, skill building opportunities, professional development workshops, and networking.

Point Foundation 4 Point Alumni are at the forefront of change in society and this year we were able to recognize two of them, Rhys Ernst, and Zach Zyskowski, at our Voices On Point celebra- tion. Caitlyn Jenner presented the Point Horizon Award to each for their work in film and television, in particular on groundbreaking shows such as ’s “Transparent” and ABC Family’s “Becoming Us.” The Point family celebrated the Supreme Court’s historic marriage equality decision in June, a cause many of our scholars and alumni have been involved in as part of their community service and advocacy. Just as important as making history, however, is ac- knowledging and celebrating history. Point was privileged this year to present civil rights leader David Mixner’s autobiographical stage work “Oh Hell No!” in , , , and . To better reflect the vigor of Point and the effusive spirit of our 85 current scholars and 214 alumni, we relaunched our website in November with a new design and im- proved features. It is a reflection of the hope and promise that, with your continued support, Point can bring to LGBTQ young people and our entire community. Because of you, we can #PointTo even greater things to come.

Sincerely,

KEVIN CHASE JAMES CUMMINGS JORGE VALENCIA Board of Directors Board of Directors Executive Director Co-Chair Co-Chair & CEO

In November 2015, Point unveiled its updated website.

5 2014-2015 Annual Report Scholar Support & Selections

A higher education degree became possible for 36 new undergraduate and gradu- ate students who received a Point Foundation Scholarship in 2015. Each recipient demonstrates academic excellence, leadership skills, community involvement, financial need, and the ability to overcome obstacles. The 36 driven and talented young people were chosen from nearly 2,000 scholarship applicants.

For 2015 – 2016, Point is providing financial assistance and programmatic support to 85 students.

Point’s support for its scholars extends beyond a direct financial contribution to the cost of their education. Point provides leadership development and training for each scholar and pairs each with a mentor in their professional field or community. Point Scholars give back to the LGBTQ and allied community through the completion of an individual community service project each year.

Point Foundation 6 Audrey is a seven-year Army veter- an who has served multiple tours overseas, rising through the ranks to Captain. She earned a B.S. from the Military Academy and an M.A. from the University of Texas at El Paso. She grew up in a multiracial family and was often the only minority child in her class- es and extracurricular activities. At the United States Military Academy, she studied under the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy and saw firsthand the effects it had on her classmates. Today, as a woman of color, she is acutely aware of the intersectional marginalization felt by many members of the LGBTQ community.

“ Point’s application process was one of the most rigorous self- reflection endeavors I’ve ever undertaken. Having to ask myself questions like ‘what significant contributions have I made to the LGBTQ community’ or ‘what do I intend to achieve with the support of Point’ left me with a sense that I wanted to do more, that I could do more, and that I would do more.”

—AUDREY STEWART Janssen Therapeutics Point Scholar, Columbia Business School

7 2014-2015 Annual Report Growing up in a small town near New Orleans, Louisiana, Julian Turner ex- perienced racism, homophobia, and discrimination. As a result, he had begun to make his community more knowledgeable about the struggles LGBTQ youth face. In his senior year of high school, Julian started his area’s very first -straight alliance. After years of battling depression in the pro- cess of finding himself, Julian decided that he would use his experiences to help others have a more peaceful process of self-acceptance.

“ Without my Point Scholarship, I would have ended up going to school in the middle of the country in Louisiana where flowers like me don’t really get to bloom. Point Foundation makes it possible for every scholar to find the place where they belong.”

—JULIAN TURNER HSBC Point Scholar, University of Southern California

9 2014-2015 Annual Report In conservative rural China, Shane battled incessant harassment because of his gender expression. Shane obtained a B.S. in chemical engineering and came to the U.S. with a graduate engineering scholar- ship. Shane served as a pride events leader at the University of Kansas and continued to promote LGBTQ acceptance in the workplace while working as an openly LGBTQ manager at Farmers Insur- ance Group. Shane is deeply concerned about the lack of access to compassionate health care for LGBTQ patients and is determined to lead positive changes to LGBTQ health care. Shane aspires to work as a primary care physician caring for LGBTQ patients.

“ Financial support from the Point Scholarship has helped ease my debt burden and freed me from the pressure of having to choose a specialty over primary care. My Point mentor, Dr. Husovsky, has been instrumental in helping me with my commitment to increase LGBTQ healthcare awareness.”

— SHANE DU Wells Fargo Point Scholar, SUNY Upstate Medical University

—KYLIE AQUINO WADDY HSBC Point Scholar, Yale School of Management

13 2014-2015 Annual Report “ Queer engineering means thinking of novel solutions to make streets safer for everyone...Queer engineering means going beyond just engineering, and thinking about problems from a political and social viewpoint as well.”

— ALEXA GROENKE P oint Scholar, Studying Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley

Point Foundation 14 Alexa grew up in Bloomington, .

15 2014-2015 Annual Report “ I certainly could not be planning my graduation in 2016 without the financial resources the Point Foundation has provided to me, but my relationship with my mentor Jen has been an unexpected gift. She has been a source of support and encouragement.”

— SARAH YOUNG Point Scholar, The University of Alabama

Mentoring

Each Point Scholar is paired with a mentor, a prominent and caring professional in the , gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and straight-allied community. Point Mentors become important role models for scholars and assist their scholars with their community service projects. Mentors advise scholars on career decisions, in- cluding the pursuit of graduate studies, job opportunities, and networking. Point provides each mentor-scholar pair with a mentoring handbook and mentor-training forums and keeps in touch through the Mentoring Messenger newsletter. Mentors are also encouraged to join scholars, alumni, board members, and trustees at leader- ship programs and other events.

17 2014-2015 Annual Report Internships

This year Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) partnered with Point to launch the first year-round internship program, making it possible for 12 Point Scholars to experience relevant, professional work directly benefiting LGBTQ community non-profit organizations working to end HIV/AIDS. Because EJAF generously underwrites a stipend for the scholar, the participating nonprofits do not incur any costs for having a gifted student work with them. A primary goal of the 12 EJAF funded internships is to increase the number of culturally competent, affordable providers working within the LGBTQ community of HIV-positive and high-risk individuals. The impact of this work was felt nationwide, as interns completed projects in Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. For example, Point Scholars Sarah Young and Atticus DeProspo worked with AIDS Outreach on a grant to expand LGBTQ and HIV services to youth, and in San Francisco Point Scholar Erin Armstrong created a systems gaps assessment at the specifically focused on the needs of transgender women of color.

Point is especially grateful to The Palette Fund for a sixth year of funding nonprofit internships for Point Scholars.

 If you or your organization would like to offer internships to our Point Scholars, please contact [email protected], or call 866.33.POINT.

Point Foundation 18 Isaias was raised in a predominantly low- income Latino community in Southeast Los Angeles by his Mexican immigrant parents. Isaias came out in his sophomore year of high School and eventually becoming president of his school’s Gay-Straight Alliance Club. Isaias empowered hundreds of youth as they fought homophobia in their schools, and lobbied for legislation in Sacramento that would create safer schools. He also attended the first-ever U.N. Consultation on anti-LGBTQ bullying in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Isaias is the first in his family to attend college and hopes to continue to fight for social justice.

Thanks to the generous support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Isaias was able to complete a summer-long intern- ship with LifeWorks in Los Angeles.

“ For my internship, I partnered with LifeWorks at the Los Angeles LGBT Center to develop a comprehensive, and culturally competent safe sex curriculum for LGBTQ youth of color. Because some are financially unstable or homeless, I believe comprehensive education surrounding safe sex and HIV/AIDS is essential to reducing transmission rates and stigma. I’m proud that the curriculum will continue to be part of LifeWorks’ programming.

— ISAIAS GUZMAN Point Scholar, University of California, Berkeley
