Who Supports The Sports Equity Fund?
The Sports Equity Fund was created from a $10,000 donation from the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA), a 501c(3) international sports organization dedicated to providing opportunity and access for the LGBT community to participate in organized softball competition in safe environments. In 2021, the NAGAAA held a fundraiser to support the creation of this grant during the Gay Softball World Series (GSWS), which was hosted in Columbus that year.
