Your donation to BPSF makes it possible for the Jeremy O. Torres Emergency Stabilization Fund to enable amazing LGBTQIA+ emerging adults facing unexpected hurdles to pay rent, put gas in their car, pay medical bills, and purchase necessary tools to succeed in school. The award has been increased to $300 one-time, based on need!
In Fall 2024 we launched the Victor Saldivar Academic Scholarship! This provides resources to help local LGBTQIA+ students attending post-secondary programs in San Marcos or Hays County achieve their academic and career goals.
We also provide paid internships, providing non-profit training experience for developing professionals and
learning from them.
Through BPSF we convey a collective message that our local LGBTQIA+ members matter and are valued, and that there is a community who is
EMPOWERING OUR RESILIENT COMMUNITY
and is invested in seeing them thrive.
