NGLTF Receives $25,180 AMgrant For GLBT Outreach

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force was selected as the beneficiary of a $25,180 AMgrant [Ambush Advertising Grant Donation] this year due to its outreach into the entire Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community nationally. The AMgrant includes $7,300 from Ambush Mag 2000 and $17,880 from AMBUSHonLINE in advertising benefits.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) is a leading progressive civil rights organization that has supported grassroots organizing and advocacy since 1973. Since its inception, NGLTF has been at the forefront of every major initiative for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights. In all its efforts, NGLTF helps to strengthen the Gay and Lesbian movement at the state and local level while connecting these activities to a national vision of change.

NGLTF is the front line activist organization in the national Gay and Lesbian movement. As such, it serves as the national resource center for grassroots Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender organizations that are facing a variety of battles at the state and local level-such as combating anti-Gay violence, battling Radical Right anti-Gay legislative and ballot measures, advocating an end to job discrimination, working to repeal sodomy laws, demanding an effective governmental response to HIV and reform of the health care system and much more.

Through its three program departments, NGLTF seeks to build the political strength of the GLBT rights movement at the grassroots level.

NGLTF is a progressive organization, committed to building coalition with other communities working for social change. NGLTF's goal is to represent, and work on issues of concern to, the full depth and breadth of diversity in the GLBT communities.

In the midst of the growing power of the Radical Right, NGLTF is committing more resources than ever to support grassroots organizing and advocacy throughout the country.
