Mission Statement
The Point Foundation mission is to empower promising lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
About This Cause
Point Foundation is the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students. Point provides financial support, leadership training, mentoring, and community to college students from around the world attending US-accredited educational institutions. Our work improves the equity and representation of LGBTQ people in nearly every industry, ensuring that LGBTQ people have a voice and are provided equal access and opportunity in every sector. Our impact continues to grow from 8 students in 2002 to 755 students in the 2024-2025 academic year. For more than 20 years, Point Foundation has empowered LGBTQ students nationwide to pursue their postsecondary educational dreams. Our scholars have gone on to work in nearly every field, leading change in their communities. Point's work is vital because the high cost of college and graduate school, along with the inequities LGBTQ people face, makes it harder for LGBTQ students to succeed in higher education compared to their non-LGBTQ peers. Point Foundation is a top-rated nonprofit by watchdog groups, Charity Navigator, GuideStar, and the Better Business Bureau.
