We are proud to announce the launch of the new Pride in Our Workplace Community Grant Program. Starting April 13, 2022, Pride in Our Workplace is inviting early-stage LGBTQ+ nonprofits to apply to receive small capital grants aimed at bolstering the workforce capacity of community-serving organizations.
Our team has accomplished so much this year and we are excited to share all we’ve been working on. Read PIOW’s March newsletter to learn about upcoming events, impactful resources, and ways we can all continue to advocate for LGBTQ+ workplace equity across industries.
We are closing out Black History Month 2022 with episode three of PIOW’s Courageous Conversations series featuring the Transgender Emergency Fund’s Chastity Bowick and Leadership Brainery’s Jonathan Allen. In this conversation, Chastity shares her own story navigating identity, community tensions, and recognizing one’s own worth in a society that often tries to silence and stagnate LGBTQ+ and Black individuals.
We were thrilled to sit down with Keith during Black History Month to discuss how he grounds his DEI leadership strategy within a nuanced understanding of difference and his own identity as an LGBTQ+ ally and Black man. Jonathan and Kieth model the type of courageous conversations we all need to begin having with one another, through which we can better recognize our communities’ intersections to drive personal growth and societal change. Join us in watching this dynamic discussion.
Courageous Conversations highlights complex societal dynamics that influence our relationships, professional opportunities, and quality of life. Our 2022 BHM series celebrates Black LGBTQ+ leaders and the contributions they make towards our collective progression.
After an incredible year of programming and development, we are excited to share our first impact report with a preview of upcoming initiatives that will fuel the continued growth of our organization. Join us in looking back at our 2021 accomplishments and recognizing our goals for 2022.

The PIOW team has had a busy first quarter. Learn more about what we’ve been up to and what our organization has planned for the future in our April newsletter.
In May and June, we were joined by two panels of gender-diverse professionals and industry leaders to explore best practices in workplace inclusion. We learned that allyship is an ongoing practice of educating oneself, listening to understand the needs of others, and taking action to advocate for those in the community you’re trying to support. However we identify individually, allyship is something that we all must work towards together.
