Honoring the life and legacy of philanthropic visionary, Rand Harlan Skolnick, The Palette Fund has become a source of support for institutions and leaders working to build a thriving community through social change. They’ve provided over 5 million in grants to over 125 organizations internationally, seek to build partnerships with all of the organizations they support – providing guidance, technical assistance, contacts, and platforms to amplify their reach. They seek to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of those who have been marginalized due to sexual preference, illness, age, or limited access to resources. The Palette Fund is driven by respect, love, and hope – themes that Skolnick championed – at the forefront of education, advocacy, and community building.

There are resources to help make their voices heard.
