Our mission evolved. Our goal is the same: make a difference.

Purple Foundation raises funds for local organizations that work to improve the overall quality of life, health, wellness, and future of the Dallas LGBTQIA+ community.

Purple Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, founded in 2001 by Saul Flores and group of great friends. With donated proceeds of more than $2.1 million Purple Foundation has become an invaluable source of revenue for local service organizations whose work reflects our mission.

How do we do it?

We do it by sponsoring fundraising events, funding targeted programs, or underwriting special projects through essential LGBTQIA+ service providers, right here in the Dallas area. We’ve been “presenting sponsors” for multiple years for ASD’s “No Tie Dinner,” Resource Center’s “Toast to Life” benefit, and Legacy’s “Grace Project.” Looking towards the future, we want to make an even bigger impact on a larger portion of the LGBTQIA+ community. In 2022, we announced that Resource Center would be our new primary beneficiary. In keeping with our evolved mission, we made this decision primarily because Resource Center’s reach is broad and diverse with a variety of programs and projects that make a bigger impact on our community. This is Dallas, after all—”The Big D”. We’re making the Big Difference.

And finally. Why does it matter?

Our beneficiaries would not be able to do everything they do without our donations. Although the bulk of our beneficiaries’ operating capital is from government programs and grants, those funds must be used for very specific purposes, severely limiting what they can or cannot spend that money for—things like facility upgrades and beautification projects. One year our donations covered the cost of building an entire new, much-needed kitchen for one of ASD’s multifamily properties—something almost impossible for them to have done without our donations. Learn more about our beneficiaries and the big difference they are making, too.
