Mission Statement:

To provide students tuition, living funds, and educational programs at the College of the Desert, and other educational institutions who identify as LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, or Asexual +).

BIG NEWS!

We added "educational programs" to our mission statement to allow for DSF to allocate funding to colleges so that students could attend seminars, conferences, etc and expose them to a variety of learning acitivites.

It's that time of year when we begin to plan "Winter Sparkles".

Last year was the inagural "Winter Sparkles" event and it was a huge sucess. This year, we plan to have just as much fun and fundraising.

A message from Lucio Bernal,
Founder & CEO at DSF.

Our decision to rebrand and create a 501c3 was a well thought out decision after 5 years fundraising for CVPSF, 111 awarded scholarships, and over $180,000 raised. Jon and I felt that by having our own 501c3, we will have a broader reach and ability to fund raise and have events. We look forward to your continued support in 2024 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Lucio Bernal
