BENTONVILLE, Ark., (June 10, 2021) – A new statewide fund will support organizations working to improve the quality of life for LGBTQ Arkansans. The initiative is launching with philanthropic support from the Alice L. Walton Foundation and from Olivia and Tom Walton through the Walton Family Foundation. Organizations offering legal, health, education and advocacy services, along with other high-demand needs will be eligible for grants. Arkansas Community Foundation will oversee the fund with support from a grant selection committee.
A COVID Relief Fund grant helped INTERFORM supply Northwest Arkansas communities with masks during the early phase of the pandemic. That experience helped the fashion and design nonprofit expand into small-batch production.
