Humphrey Building, Room 509F 200 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20201 RE: Comments in Opposition to Section 1557 NPRM, RIN 0945-AA11, “Nondiscrimination in Health and Health Education Programs or Activities” To Whom It May Concern: I am writing on behalf of Funders for LGBTQ Issues to express our strong opposition to the proposed regulatory reform regarding Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2019. Funders for LGBTQ Issues works to increase the scale and impact of philanthropic resources aimed at enhancing the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities, promoting equity, and advancing racial, economic and gender justice. We are a network of more than 80 foundations, corporations, and other grantmaking institutions that collectively award more than $1 billion in funding annually, including more than $100 million specifically devoted to LGBTQ issues. With an awareness that LGBT Americans are 25 percent more likely to lack healthcare coverage compared to non-LGBT Americans, our network is actively working to address health disparities affecting LGBT Americans.1 We know that LGBT Americans suffer from higher rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS infection, and mental health issues.2 Our most recent tracking report on LGBTQ grantmaking by U.S. foundations identified $27.6 million in funding aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of the more than 11.3 million Americans who openly identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.3,4 Legislation or rules that reduce 1 The Williams Institute, UCLA School of Law, “LGBT Data & Demographics,” accessed July 16, 2019.

  • Through Afterschool Development
    CREATING COMMUNITIES THROUGH AFTERSCHOOL DEVELOPMENT 2016 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION The All Stars Project transforms the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. OUR VISION By 2020, the All Stars Project will be recognized as America’s action and thought leader in Afterschool Development, a new way of engaging poverty. OUR VALUES Integrity and trust Partnership with the poor Building community Radically inclusive Imagining possibility Improving the world Dear Friends, At a moment when people across the country and the world are working to overcome deep divisions, I am so proud to be joining with people of all ages and from all walks of life to grow a national development community filled with possibility and hope. The All Stars began working in poor neighborhoods 36 years ago, and we never left — we continue to stand on street corners, knock on doors in housing projects and walk the halls of struggling schools to offer thousands of young people and families an opportunity to be part of creating something new in their lives. Across America, All Stars' mission and vision are being championed and shaped by forward-looking and committed partners who are passionate about opening up pathways of opportunity for inner- city youth. Privately funded from the start, last year the All Stars Project raised over $9.7 million from more than 3,500 donors who are dedicated to partnering with youth and finding new ways to strengthen our American community. With this support, we have launched a campaign to establish our third Center for Afterschool Development — this one in Chicago’s downtown Loop.

Last year, I saw our partners, families and supporters align in powerful ways. I know by working together we will absolutely put our children on a trajectory to college and end multigenerational poverty on the Northside! Last year was incredible. Moving at turbo speed, we enrolled more families, increased the number of programs and opportunities, rolled out our quality assurance and evaluation processes, and much more. NAZ parents and scholars are my personal inspiration. Many come from very difficult situations but are determined to succeed. More parents are completing their goals and more scholars are accelerating their learning by attending academically based out-of-school programming. They are the leaders of a long-awaited change on the Northside. I’m grateful to our partners—from housing, to early childhood, to careers, to schools, to behavioral health, to out-of-school programs, to Friends of the Future—they have all stepped up to create a cocoon of support for families most in need. I’m amazed by our incredible staff who surround our families with high expectations and high supports every day. Most of our team members come from the Northside, and some are NAZ parents.
