Manatee Community Foundation Awards $17,000 Grant to ALSO Youth

The Giving Coast

Manatee Community Foundation is awarding a $17,000 grant to ALSO Youth Sarasota/Manatee to support its downtown Bradenton location and programming. The organization has provided support and quality programming to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning youth and their allies since 1993 and recently finalized a merger with PRISM Youth Initiative in Bradenton. “The diversity and vibrancy of downtown Bradenton during COVID19 recovery is important to our community,” said Susie Bowie, Manatee Community Foundation executive director. “This grant supported by the Knight Donor Advised Fund will provide a safe drop-in space for LGBTQ+ youth to visit each Saturday, receiving group support and connecting with peers.”
