About the Organization

Health Care Advocates International (HCAI) is a non-profit health & advocacy organization dedicated to serving the needs of the LGBTQ+ community through prevention, programs, education, advocacy & treatment. As a medical practice and advocacy group, HCAI embraces the whole health (mental, physical and emotional) of the individuals who seek their help. The HCAI team’s mission is to assist all those who walk through their doors. If the needs can’t be met within the walls of HCAI, the organization becomes a conduit to services available elsewhere in the community and beyond.

About the Grant

We’re proud of the growing number of organizations that share our mission to end discrimination and promote healthy lives for the LGBTQ+ community. Through The HCAI Fund, we provide financial support for these groups, particularly those that address basic needs, safety and wellness, stigma and discrimination, equality, and education. Some of our past grant recipients include the New Haven Pride Center, The Yale Gender Program, The Jim Collins Foundation, and The Youth Continuum. Together, we can make our mission a movement.
