It's that time of year again - mark your calendars for our 7th Annual Brunch with a Purpose supporting the South Puget Sound Community College LGBTQ+ Student Success Fund. We want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our friends and family who attended last year.  

​

Brunch With A Purpose Story

Entertaining with a purpose has long been a passion for community members John Doan and David Marks. In 2018 they partnered with South Puget Sound Community College and started Brunch with a Purpose. This annual brunch, held the first Saturday in December, supports the LGBTQ+ Student Success Fund. To date these events have raised over $100,000! These funds directly support LGBTQ+ students with scholarships and emergency grants. Some of the emergency situations include unplanned medical, transportation, equipment, housing, and tuition expenses that would jeopardize their college dreams. The scholarships and emergency grants are managed and awarded throughout the year by the SPSCC Foundation. Learn more about the history of our events with a purpose.

Mini Grant Partner Opportunities

Every $500 donation by a Mini Grant Partner provides an Emergency Grant to an SPSCC student to help them stay in school. Being a Mini Grant Partner demonstrates your organization’s commitment to:

·       Support the community

·       Showing the importance of education

Mini Grant Partners are recognized on the website, the program, event materials, email and social marketing.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2023 MINI GRANT SUPPORTERS!
