Indiana Equality Receives Grant Funding!

Indiana Equality (IE) has once again been chosen as a recipient of a $45,000 grant from the Tides Foundation’s State Equality Fund, a philanthropic partnership that includes the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the Gill Foundation, and anonymous donors.

This grant, along with generous matching dollars from supporters like you, will be used to expand civil rights protections (workplace, education, and public accommodations) for LGBT citizens across Indiana through our Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) Project.

The challenge grant only covers half of the total cost for the project and we need your financial support to ensure it is fully funded.

We have laid the ground work in numerous communities across the state in 2009 because of this grant.  Help us continue the progress by making a donation of $10, $20, $30 or more today!

The lessons learned from our work in communities like Goshen demonstrate that opponents of equality will spare no expense and rely on fear tactics, misinformation and blatant dishonesty to push their message of hate, discrimination and bigotry.  Throughout history, these types of tactics inevitably fail.  Their failure comes with our success, and our success comes with your support.  Equality can be achieved but only through your involvement.

Show your support for equality for all Hoosiers by making your tax-deductible donation of $10, $20, $30 or more today! 

We are partnering in this project with the Midwest Office of Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana (ACLU-IN), American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Council 62 (AFSCME), Indiana AFL-CIO (AFL-CIO), state and local LGBT groups, and several other allied organizations.

Yours in equality,

Jon Keep
President, Indiana Equality
