STONEWALL CHICO STABILITY DEVELOPMENT FUND NOW OPEN: LET’S GROW FOR GOOD.

Sharing with care and urgency: Stonewall Chico is navigating a changing and uncertain landscape. Anti-DEI budget cuts, legislation, and sentiment at the Federal level are making their way to us while many who have donated to keep our services vibrant are facing threats to their own financial stability. CA Prop 1 means that Butte County funding is shifting, and our long-running contract with them has ended. How we will be included in new structures is currently unknown.

While all this uncertainty is unsettling, it does bring something certain into focus: it's time to invest in the stability of Stonewall Chico's funding sources.  As the only public-facing organization providing LGBTQ+ competent and life-saving education, advocacy, mental and social health services in our area, continuing this work doesn't feel optional.

We're opening the Stability Development Fund with the intention to raise $8000.  This legacy fund will allow us to prepare for changes responsibly, now and in the future by:

- Investing in grant writing capacity, fundraising strategy, and fiscal planning
- Mapping a path to programming that makes sense in this new paradigm
- Working with expert advisors to plan a sustainable funding system

With a small team of just 1 full-time Administrator and 4 part-time staff, our working hours are filled with keeping the Center and its programs functioning. This fund would allow us to use time and personnel which are not usually available to us.

Meanwhile, Stonewall Chico is already taking other actions to try and stabilize ourselves. We are working toward the development of a Medi-Cal billing pathway. We are also partnering with a coalition to advocate for an existing proposed CA State budget for LGBTQ+ Centers like ours, and we are pursuing ongoing grant and fundraising opportunities.

Join us in this investment toward sustainable futures for our local Queer and Trans community. A donation of just $25 helps us along the way. If you can give more, please do. Let’s grow for good together.
