Queer Joy Gallery
The Queer Endowment is committed to fostering long-term financial stability for LGBTQ+ initiatives.
By reaching our goal of $100,000, we can secure ongoing support for the community,
ensuring not just survival but thriving.
How It Works
The Queer Endowment works by safeguarding the principal amount while using the generated interest to fund community projects.
Here’s how:
-
Raise: Gather $100,000 through community contributions.
-
Invest: Securely invest the principal to generate annual interest.
-
Distribute: Each year, 50% of the interest funds community projects, and 50% is reinvested to grow the endowment.
RAISE
Fundraising Initiatives: Our goal is to amass $100,000 through diverse community contributions. This will include elegant galas, engaging fundraisers, and small individual donations. To further our efforts, we will collaborate with venues hosting our Takeover events to allocate 1% of their sales on the night to the endowment.
INVEST
Financial Management: The funds raised will be securely managed by the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, which will invest them in low-risk bonds and index funds. These investments are expected to yield an 8-10% return annually. To ensure sustainable growth, 50% of the interest generated will be reinvested, enhancing both the principal and the annual interest produced by the fund.
DISTRIBUTE
Community Impact: Annually, 50% of the interest generated will be allocated to community projects. The distribution will be directed by the larger queer community through forums and voting, ensuring that you have a voice in selecting the initiatives that matter most. This approach ensures that our funding directly supports the priorities and needs of our community.
