Equity Action is Rhode Island's fund for sexual orientation and gender identity. As a permanent endowment at the Foundation, Equity Action advances the equitable treatment and improves the quality of life of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Rhode Islanders. Led by an advisory council of committed volunteers, Equity Action provides grants to organizations and initiatives that support LGBTQ Rhode Islanders. In 2008, Equity Action launched the Million Dollar Challenge Campaign, an effort to raise $500,000. Every dollar raised will be matched by the Foundation. The fund will continue to grow in perpetuity, supporting Rhode Island’s LGBTQ communities for generations to come.
