LEAP Forward. Give Back. is our fiscal year-end campaign, running now through October 31, 2026.

This year, the funding model LEAP was built on shifted fast. As DEI was warped into something to be defended rather than something to be empowered by, support rolled back across sectors. Larger funders went quiet. Long-standing relationships ended abruptly. We have been tackling it head-on — tightening expenses, diversifying our funding, making hard calls across the organization. But that work takes time, and our runway got cut short.

Forty-four years in, LEAP is at risk. At risk is not the same as finished.

LEAP Forward is how we build a financial foundation wide enough that no single funder, and no single budget category, decides what our community gets. Your participation as a board member is not only appreciated, it is the engine of this campaign. A personal ask from a board member converts at many times the rate of any email LEAP can send.
