OQTAA Thanks the Contigo Community Fund
Orlando, FL-- The Orlando Queer & Trans Asian Association has been presented with the honor of receiving a grant from the Contigo Community Fund.
According to the Contigo Fund website, “Contigo Fund is an effort to strengthen and network existing agencies and to identify and support grassroots efforts that advance Latinx and LGBTQ causes and the intersection of these two communities. It will also seek to build bridges across Central Florida’s diverse communities and to raise awareness of homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry that divide our communities rather than bring them together.”
