Stonewall Foundation of Greater Sacramento

Founded in 2017 by Sam Catalano, the mission of the Stonewall Foundation of Greater Sacramento is to build a pipeline of support for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, emphasizing education and civic engagement. Initially offering a single scholarship at Sacramento State University, in eight years, the foundation has since established four additional scholarships providing more than $100,000 to dozens of high school and college students. Additionally, the foundation has convened local educational agencies to discuss best practices for supporting LGBTQ+ youth, sponsored student-led leadership conferences, and sponsored internsihps at local mental health providers with experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals. The Stonewall Foundation of Greater Sacramento is committed to extending support to LGBTQ youth and young adults in pursuit of equity for all.
