The grant is for $44,500 and will help fund the Task Forcešs Youth Leadership Institute. "We are honored to have our work recognized and supported by the Kellogg Foundation," said Kerry Lobel, NGLTF executive director. "It's fitting that the Task Force receive this award in our 25th anniversary year." NGLTF's annual Youth Leadership Institute is in its fourth year and offers a week of intensive leadership development, grassroots organizing training, and skills-building workshops to 25 youth selected from around the country. This year's training will be held outside of Washington, D.C. on August 5 - 9. When graduates of the training return home, they will get follow-up support and assistance from NGLTF's field department and be paired with an organization in their community to work on Equality Begins at Home, coordinated actions in state capitals across the country planned for March 1999. "Lesbian and gay concerns represent the full spectrum of issues facing other disenfranchised groups in the United States," said Nancy Cunningham, executive director of the Working Group on Funding Lesbian and Gay Issues. "However, less then 0.1 percent of total philanthropic dollars are awarded to lesbian and gay projects annually. Support from the Kellogg Foundation is a significant step toward advancing the rights and conditions of lesbian and gay men," she added. -30- _____________________________________________________________________ Founded in 1973, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force works to eliminate prejudice, violence and injustice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people at the local, state and national level.
