Founded in 2011, Horizons Young Professionals for Equality (HYPE) empowers and unites emerging leaders in the San Francisco Bay Area through acts of charitable giving to LGBTQ organizations and the development of strong community relationships. HYPE began as a grass-roots movement to promote accessible philanthropy, build a culture of giving, and support the leadership development of community-minded LGBTQ emerging leaders and their allies. HYPE has expanded quickly over the last three years to reach 75+ members from diverse backgrounds of the Bay Area’s LGBTQ community. To date, members have contributed more than $35,000, in small recurring, monthly donations to grant out to Bay Area nonprofit organizations serving the LGBTQ community.
Horizons Young Professionals for Equality (HYPE) is a community of young LGBT Bay Area professionals who join together to connect, develop into future LGBT community leaders, engage in philanthropy and giving — and have a great time doing it.
