A component of this work is intended to address needs identied in the 2024 Public Health Improvement Plan*, specically Priority 2: Promoting Social Connectedness. These projects must directly serve populations who experience disadvantages due to inequities in policies, practices, social norms, and the distribution of resources. It is through dedication to these efforts that gradual system-level change can be accomplished. *The 2024-2028 Eagle County Public Health Improvement Plan (available through this link) is a ve-year plan directly informed by Eagle County residents. By facilitating conversations with community members, Eagle County Public Health and Environment was able to build a deeper understanding of needs, and potential interventions, that can change the root causes of health disparities. This assessment led to the determination of three priority areas, one of which being the Promoting Social Connectedness. This priority encompasses the crucial need for the improvement of social infrastructure throughout Eagle County, such as equal access to physical gathering spaces, programs, organizations, public involvement, and even policies.  Eligible use of funds include: Community outreach, engagement, and building efforts Community building projects which create belonging  Direct voice and involvement from populations served through programs and projects Community member empowerment (training, strengthening connections, advocacy) Equity-focused professional development - staff and board Strategic planning and organizational development; board (re)development, capacity building, or sustainable funding Recruitment of a Board of Directors or staff that represents the diverse populations of the community Enhancing or establishing safe gathering spaces to better accessibility and belonging Supporting the development, or strengthening of, community-based social support groups 5/6/24, 8:56 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Program Application 2024 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zIn65_jODcu1DclDmvf77s55YUYik-IsqaPlqGALE9o/edit#response=ACYDBNi_87rYPyEaDVE991u6OFT99HUEb…1/18 Docusign Envelope ID: 879F2D66-24A4-4A82-AF00-8C3D6491F9D4 Email * info@mountainpride.org Eligibility and Requirements Eligibility: To be considered for funding, organizations must provide information identifying the following: Registration as a nonprot with the State of Colorado and provide evidence of local programming or projects which fosters community building and root cause work  Project applied for will directly impact residents of Eagle County, with the applicant’s service area focused on the Eagle County and/or Roaring Fork Mid-Valley Familiarity with unique needs, culture, and present services available within Eagle County and/or Roaring Fork Mid-Valley Awareness of the organization's role and function within the applicable systems Requirements: 1.

However, many people in rural par ts of the country describe their communities in similar ways: built around family and close-knit community; centered around strong social institutions such as churches, schools, and local businesses; deeply connected to place and the environment; and based in a sense of efficacy and self- reliance to make change in their own communities. Cer tain challenges and experiences are also increasingly common in rural America, including the ongoing economic hardships; addiction and substance abuse, including the opioid epidemic; fewer or more distant options for quality health care; and more. The challenges of rural life often lead to different consequences for LGBTQ+ people, and can amplify LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of both acceptance and rejection. Though rural America is home to a robust population of LGBTQIA+ people—as many as 3.8 million or some 20 percent of the country’s total LGBTQIA+ population—discrimination and isolation are still par ticularly severe challenges for queer residents in America’s rural areas, like Eagle County. Those conditions are interwoven with exclusion from employment, housing, access to community, and other oppor tunities, and with marked health disparities. This very real need led to the founding of what is now known as Mountain Pride. In 2020, Britny Rose, Eagle County Pride's - Pride in the Park inaugural organizer, inquired about Eagle County not having a pride festival. Within seven days of asking that question, she organized a successful pride festival attended by hundreds. This resulted in the formation of a "Pride Committee '' composed of Eagle County residents committed to growing and strengthening the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies in Eagle County. Eagle County Pride hosted a variety of social events, meet-and-greets, and self-care activities such as yoga and dancing classes. Through intentional community outreach and listening, we have strived to understand and address the diverse needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals across these regions. Which led us to develop our four strategic program areas; community, education, advocacy, and activism, and resources. In the past year alone, we've engaged with over 3,000 individuals through our four strategic program areas, resulting in more than 5,000 meaningful touchpoints. While the organization's origins may have been rooted in creating visibility and connectedness, its mission has expanded to encompass broader systemic issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community. The grant opportunity presents a strategic avenue for Mountain Pride to deepen its impact through advocacy, education, and policy reform.

Mountain Pride is constantly expanding its activities based on community needs, seeking collaborations with prospective organizational partners who share our mission and vision, and referring individuals to partner groups that can assist them with their needs. To achieve our goal of better serving the LGBTQ+ communities, we will implement the following strategies: Community A sense of belonging is a strong safety net that can support positive health outcomes, particularly those belonging to marginalized communities. LGBTQ+ individuals exist in every community across the mountains of Colorado. Community events seek to grow connections, lift our allies, enhance visibility and celebrate the LGBTQ+ individuals through fun events. Events will benefit a wide range of people, including BIPOC, youth, adults, and families. Provide monthly activities and events for our diverse LGBTQIA+ communities to connect and foster relationships Implement Pride in the Park, a resource that celebrates our LGBTQIA+ community, while providing resources and connections to attendees Host the regional community-wide Gender & Sexuality Alliance meetings Education Promote acceptance and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community by delivering training, workshops, and speaking engagements to the community, organizations, health care workers, providers, schools, and more on various topics to engage in conversations that will help ensure welcoming and thriving environments for all. Training for allies on language, pronouns, vocabulary, gender-affirming practices, support, and more Engage community par tners in building capacity through comprehensive training and consulting services on LGBTQ+ best practices, equity, intersectionality, and inclusion Provide training and resources which help educate and empower our LGBTQ+ individuals Advocacy & Activism Mountain Pride will support LGBTQ+ individuals with difficult situations like discrimination and harassment and help navigate suppor t services. We will advocate for reform, connecting with local and state representatives, encouraging civic engagement, and making investments for the betterment of our communities. Cultivate greater LGBTQIA+ civic representation and public presence/ participation Proclaim June as pride month with the Eagle County Commissioners Resources We seek to provide information related to the community's informed needs, such as sexual or reproductive health services, suicide and violence prevention, mental health resources, peer suppor t, gender-affirming resources, coming out, HIV & STI, and more.

According to Envision You’s State of the State Survey, approximately a third of respondents did not feel that they have a community to which they belong. We recognize the significant impact of this kind of social isolation and disconnectedness on health outcomes for LGBTQ+ community members. To address this, we have implemented various programs and initiatives aimed at fostering social connectedness within our community. These include regular (multiple times per month) community events, monthly suppor t groups, and other outreach programming that creates meaningful interactions and connections among community members. By promoting social connectedness, we aim to mitigate the adverse effects of isolation and create a supportive environment conducive to overall health and well-being. We understand that addressing disparities requires a collaborative effor t involving multiple stakeholders and agencies. Mountain Pride has actively sought to strengthen par tnerships with local organizations (SpeakUp ReachOut, Eagle Valley Community Foundation, Your Hope Center, Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, Habitat for Humanity), healthcare providers (Vail Health), government agencies (Eagle County School District, Town Government, and Eagle County Government), and other relevant stakeholders (Business Owners). Through collaborative effor ts, we leverage collective exper tise, resources, and networks to develop comprehensive solutions to health disparities. These par tnerships enable us to pool resources, share best practices, and coordinate services more effectively. We firmly believe in the importance of engaging the community served in decision-making processes that affect them. We actively solicit input from community members through various channels, including community forums, surveys, and our advisory committee. This community-driven approach ensures that our programs and initiatives are responsive to the needs and priorities of the LGBTQ+ community and those who experience multiple marginalizations that we serve. We recognizes the impor tance of allyship in creating inclusive and suppor tive environments for all community members, par ticularly marginalized populations like the LGBTQ+ community. To promote allyship, we offer community-based education initiatives that raise awareness about social justice issues, privilege, and systemic barriers. These initiatives include public events, workshops, workplace specific training sessions, and educational materials designed to empower community members to become effective allies in the fight against injustice. By fostering a culture of allyship, we aim to create a more inclusive and equitable community where all members feel valued and suppor ted.

By strategically allocating funds across our four program areas; community, education, advocacy, and resources, we will implement a cohesive strategy that leverages community-based decision- making, fosters collaboration, and promotes social connectedness to drive meaningful change at the systemic level. The first priority of this grant is to continue our foundation for community-building to ensure that everything we do is guided with the community at the center. Through funding we will facilitate monthly, collaborative community events providing inclusive spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals and allies can gather, exchange experiences, and collectively advocate for change. These events will be co-designed with community input, ensuring they authentically represent the diverse voices and needs of our population. In regards to co- designed, there will be specific opportunities for youth to design events for youth to foster belonging within the youth segment of the community. Education serves as a cornerstone for challenging systemic discrimination and fostering understanding and acceptance. We will offer comprehensive training sessions, workshops, and speaking engagements to equip community members, organizations, healthcare providers, and educators with the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate inclusive environments and challenge systemic injustices. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders and facilitating shared learning experiences, we empower individuals to become advocates for systemic change within their spheres of influence. Advocacy is essential for dismantling systemic barriers and advancing LGBTQIA+ equity. We will collaborate with local businesses, organizations, and policymakers to advocate for policy reforms that foster equity and inclusion for LGBTQIA+ communities. This includes initiatives such as establishing "Safe Space" programs, cultivating LGBTQ+ civic representation, and advocating for the adoption of inclusive policies and practices across sectors. By amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, we promote community-based decision-making and mobilize collective action to drive systemic transformation. Access to resources is critical for supporting the well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals and addressing systemic disparities. Through this grant, we will provide vital resources and support through our initiatives of Gender Affirming Closet, HIV testing services, behavioral health support, and peer suppor t groups. These resources will be continuously evaluated and adapted based on community feedback, ensuring they remain responsive to evolving needs and contribute to lasting systemic change.

We have a solid Board of Directors who is a committed group of individuals who hold the space for both being a founding board and identifying as LGBTQIA+ community members. Each member has verbalized and actualized a willingness to step into varying and more hands-on roles while building the organizations (fundraising suppor t, event management, etc.). 100% of Board Members have financially contributed to the organization. Another impor tant note on sustainability is Mountain Pride’s role in the renewed and reinvigorated community commitment to behavioral health through the Eagle Valley Behavioral Health “It Takes a Valley Campaign''. As a community partner, we are encouraged through financial suppor t, professional mentoring, and more. Lastly, in achieving 501c3 status, we have been able to continue to diversify our funding by applying to grants more broadly, growing our existing “Pride in the Park'' business sponsorship program, and continuing our individual fundraising campaigns around Colorado Gives Day and other effor ts. In the last year, we have received generous funding from various grant sources as well including but not limited to The Colorado Health Foundation, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Equity Grant Program, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Sexual Violence Prevention Program, Depar tment of Local Affairs Nonprofit Infrastructure Grant, and Vail Valley Care.

We will implement a comprehensive data collection and evaluation plan to measure progress towards our goals, assess the impact of our interventions, and identify areas for improvement. This involves collecting both quantitative and qualitative data through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and client satisfaction assessments. Regular monitoring and evaluation will enable us to track outcomes, make adjustments as needed, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our effor ts. We solicit community feedback to assess and evaluate our work. It is through this process that we hope to address more complex and persistent issues. This evaluation also provides information with which we can consult state and national level experts on best practices, as well as allowing our community to become part of state and national solutions.

According to the Grant Information Packet, root causes are underlying factors that contribute to social disparities and must be addressed to create lasting change. Here's how our project aligns with this definition: Social Isolation and Discrimination: The project aims to tackle the pervasive issue of social isolation and discrimination experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Eagle County. By fostering inclusive communities through community events, education initiatives, and advocacy effor ts, we address the root causes of social disparities and promote social connectedness. Limited Access to Resources and Support Services: LGBTQ+ individuals often face barriers in accessing essential resources and suppor t services, including healthcare, housing, and employment. Our project seeks to address this issue by providing vital resources such as an online resource hub, Gender Affirming Closet, and HIV testing services tailored to the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. By addressing the root causes of limited access to resources, we aim to promote equity and improve the well-being of LGBTQ+ communities in Eagle County. Systemic Discrimination and Prejudice: Systemic discrimination and prejudice contribute to disparities in access to healthcare, employment, and other essential services for LGBTQ+ individuals. Through collaborative advocacy effor ts and policy reforms, our project seeks to dismantle systemic barriers and promote equity and inclusion for LGBTQ+ communities. By addressing the root causes of systemic discrimination, we aim to create a more equitable and inclusive environment where all individuals can live authentically and thrive. In summary, our project directly targets root causes by addressing systemic barriers and inequities faced by LGBTQ+ communities in Eagle County. Through community engagement, education, advocacy, and resource provision, we aim to create lasting change that promotes social connectedness, equity, and inclusion for all individuals.

A grassroots organization of local people, we are uniquely positioned to serve as a community convener. We pull together LGBTQ+ individuals and groups for brainstorming, planning, implementation, and program assessments to address the needs of our rural LGBTQ+ community. The original Pride in the Park group is still in formation and serves as the foundation for our organization. This entire group identifies as par t of the LGBTQ+ community and includes individuals from all walks of life and school and professional circles so they serve as our listening ears to the entire community. Out of this group, our Executive Director stepped up first in a volunteer capacity to formalize the organization and then eventually as the first hired staff. During this time, a Board of Directors was recruited from a diverse convergence of skills and experiences, focusing on diversity within the LGBTQ+ community. The Pride in the Park committee is now the Pride committee and works year round to gather feedback from the community and plan events accordingly while the Board serves an advisory role specifically focusing on fiduciary responsibility. Our Board of Directors is also composed of majorly queer individuals, 88% to be exact. Our school based GSAs are student-run and lead. Students meet and connect with other trans and queer students in their school. They work to create safe spaces and talk about the various issues they face in school or their broader communities, such as discrimination from teachers or school administrators. Students take a leadership role to improve school climate through campaigns and events that raise awareness and change policies or practices in their schools. Our community based GSAs is another way in which we are encouraging leadership and soliciting direction from our community. They are structured similarly in our in schools programs but focus more on community issues impacting adults and families outside of the school setting.

All staff identify at LGBTQ+ and share many lived experiences with those that we serve and seek to serve. We recognize however, the complexity of identifying with multiple marginalized identities including but not limited to gender expansiveness, race, ethnicity, language, documentation status, ability, and religion. 100% of staff are members of the LBGTQ+ community and over 90% of the Board of Directors is as well. In Eagle County, where over 60,000 people reside, 31.6% are Latinx, with 51% Latinx student enrollment and 56% representing minority groups in the school district. Notably, 20% of residents are foreign-born compared to Colorado's 9.7%, and 31% speak a language other than English at home, nearly double the state's 16.7%. Specifically addressing the JEDI needs in our community and the complexity of multiple marginalized identities, one of our foci is on the queer Hispanic community. Community-based leaders, identifying as queer and Hispanic, lead effor ts including events like Hispanic Drag Shows, tailored communication on Spanish radio stations and bilingual social media posts. Spanish language peer support groups are also established. Another area of focus is addressing the needs and challenges of the gender expansive community. Throughout queer history this group has been erased from the narrative and thus the resources. We have Board leadership that reflects this community, bring education specific to the issues this community faces to our community including but not limited to focus on athletics and medical transition, as well as have offered specific peer support groups led by and for this community.
