| The Empowering Spirits Foundation, Inc. (ESF) is a non-profit, non-partisan grass-root based civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality. ESF members engage in service-oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights. In working side-by-side with our non-LGBT neighbors they may come to see similarities rather than differences in each of us, and we can engage in dialogue through non-confrontational means to promote equality. Additionally, the ESF develops community awareness, collaborates with other coalitions, and empowers individuals and organizations to engage in the political process for equality through educational endeavors. |

| In 1989, a group of gay and lesbian Oregonians, deeply concerned about the hatred, violence, and divisiveness present in the world, created Equity Foundation. The Foundation began by providing funding to organizations that addressed issues of importance to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered community; to make visible their contributions to society at large.
Equity Foundation is a grant-making, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is committed to funding programs dealing with community education, youth and family, health and social services, and arts and culture. The foundation works to promote social justice, education, and welfare of sexual and gender minority communities and of the people of Oregon in general by providing support to non-profit organizations throughout the state.
