Our Projects

The BAYMEC Community Foundation, in pursuit of its goals to support the LGBTQ+ community, has embarked on projects that aim to preserve and share LGBTQ+ history, uplift the LGBTQ+ community, and promote a better future for all.

From time to time, BAYMEC Foundation secures funding for a project that fulfills our mission-based work. Our Board members and community volunteers identify projects and raise funds to distribute. We do not accept unsolicited proposals. For all projects, BAYMEC will only fund direct project costs, and does not fund overhead or administration.
