Over the past ten years, the GALE Fund has distributed approximately $192,000 to local organizations supporting LGBT issues on Cape Cod. 

At our 2009 Spring Fling, which raised more than $10,000 for new grants, we announced grants to the following Cape Cod organizations: 

AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod

To support the Provincetown nutritional service program which provides congregate lunches, home-delivered lunches and Tuesday dinners to men and women 
living with HIV/AIDS. 

Cape & Islands Gay & Straight Youth Alliance

For the Leadership Development Project which will engage young people in community service opportunities and specific mulit-level leadership positions
through which they will develop an understanding of commitment, and will
experience the benefits of building and connecting with their community. 

Cape & Islands Gay & Straight Youth Alliance

For the Transgender/Transsexual Support Group, including six discussion and support meetings, and 18 hours of direct support to individuals. 

Friends of Yarmouth Council on Aging

To provide social and educational programs to benefit the the LGBT community and to raise sensitivity to these issues among the straight community.

in small class settings. 

Provincetown International Film Festival

To support the Youth and Diversity Program, which includes four films for young people, and after the screenings, a panel of filmmakers and students discuss the films with the audience, focusing on issues of tolerance, diversity, and self-worth.
