Give to LGBTQ+ Initiatives
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Allies Program Fund
This fund was created several years ago and continues to be the fund that GIESORC leadership uses to provide programming for students as well as respond to student’s emerging needs.
Your gift of any size can make a major difference to GIESORC as we try to stretch our budget as far as we can while still providing the quality and quantity of service that is needed.
Emerging Student Needs supported through this fund can vary, but typically includes things like providing a cap and gown for a student who can’t afford rental, or providing book scholarships.
