What is HYPE?
HYPE is a community of emerging philanthropists who pool together resources to give grants to LGBTQ+ organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Making Philanthropy Accessible to Everyone
Members of HYPE donate or raise at least $25 dollars a month ($300 annually). HYPE donors join together to maximize the impact of our giving. You don’t have to be wealthy to have a significant charitable impact in your community.

Reimagining Community
We are a community of more than 400 donors who learn together, develop professionally, and connect socially with the common goal of investing in LGBTQ+ organizations in the Bay Area.

Changing LGBTQ+ Lives
HYPE donors pool together the money they raise to award grants to organizations that are improving and saving the lives of LGBTQ+ people in the Bay Area.
