Chapters

PFLAG has worked with corporate and philanthropic partners for really the duration of my 18 years at PFLAG, and that has mostly been in the realm of ally engagement work. So we have gone to workplaces all across the country to help LGBTQ+ employee or business resource groups engage more allies, get them involved in that work that is happening within the company, and Through that programming, we have developed really great long-term relationships with some of our philanthropic partners. And over the last couple of years, we were hearing more and more from those partners that they had just seen this huge influx of parents and caregivers and family members coming to those Pride or LGBTQ+ employee groups because they were in need of information, they were in need of guidance, they were in need of support. Were in this very tough moment in the country. And so they needed something. And in partnership with parenting or caregiving employee groups, these LGBTQ+ groups wanted to provide some sort of support to those families.
