Mission Statement:

The Alexander foundation exists to enhance the lives of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people by providing financial assistance to those in need throughout Colorado. We are an all-volunteer organization and through the spirit of giving, it is our mission to build a community of strength and dignity.

How many times have we heard that big things come in small packages? Founded in 1981, The Alexander Foundation is a non-profit, philanthropic organization that shows every day how small sums of money can turn someone’s life around. For over 20 years, The Alexander Foundation has been helping gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people throughout Colorado change their lives for the better. From emergency grants and educational assistance to programs for seniors, we've created a tradition of caring that goes far beyond fabulous social events.

The Alexander Foundation sponsors four different programs that provide financial assistance to ensure the well-being and personal growth of individuals in the GLBT community throughout Colorado. Through your generous contributions and continued support over the years, we have been able to assist thousands of Colorado gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people who have found themselves in need of financial assistance for a variety of reasons.

"All of the people who have been involved in the organization take pride in the fact that we have been able to fill some very real needs in the GLBT community … and a variety of needs at a taxing time. One of the unique things about The Alexander Foundation is that from the very beginning we decided this would be an all-volunteer organization and that we would avoid putting anyone on expenses or payroll. We were counting on and found that it was there – tremendous talent within the community and a tremendous willingness to contribute! This means that our administrative expenses are only about 8% of our budget leaving the rest to go and serve the community."
