PFLAG Roseburg has received a $7,500 grant from the Oregon Community Foundation.

PFLAG stands for Parents, Families, and Friends of lesbians and gays.

An OCF release said the funds are for LGBTQ+ support, community education, and advocacy “to provide the security and resources needed to help Douglas County communities thrive”.

The grant is part of $700,000 that more than fifty LGBTQ+ serving organizations have received through donor-funded grants in the past year through OCF.

The release said OCF’s 2022 Community Grants program prioritizes communities in Oregon most impacted by the social, economic and racial injustices and inequities. For more information about the program, go to: https://oregoncf.org/grants-and-scholarships/grants/community-grant-program/
