The organization focuses on generating resources and coordinating activities to create awareness of and combat against HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses. The D.I.V.A. Foundation produces and utilizes televised and digital health awareness content (music, entertainment programming, panels, and discussions) as vehicles to inform, educate and erase the stigma still attached to this disease.

Over the 32-year history of The D.I.V.A.

In 2005, Sheryl Lee Ralph and The D.I.V.A. Foundation received the first Red Ribbon Leadership Award at the United Nations on World AIDS Day for the unique use of the arts in fighting HIV/AIDS. The D.I.V.A.

Since 2011, Black Transmen Inc has firmly planted ourselves on the forefront of organizing the modern movement for Black trans equality.

(BTMI) takes pride in its role as the first national nonprofit social advocacy organization with a specific focus on empowering African American transgender men by addressing multi-layered issues of injustice faced at the intersections of racial, sexual orientation, and gender identities.

Black Transmen Inc

We are a community clinic providing affordable & accessible psychedelic-assisted therapies plus education, training, and research.

ABOUT US:
Sequoia Center was founded as a response to the growing disparity between the need for psychedelic-assisted therapies and access to affordable and relevant services. As for-profit retreat centers continue to proliferate across the country, many people who are most in need of psychedelic services find them financially out of reach. Our goal is to remedy this growing gap by pouring our funding directly into the services we provide, as an investment in our community.

To ensure that the future of psychedelic-assisted services is ethical, accessible, and evidence-based, we value conducting outcomes research (client opt-in only!) in addition to providing services to the community. We aim to help the larger psychedelic ecosystem define best practices, develop clear ethical standards, train new practitioners, and educate the public.

Our current service offerings include ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as psychedelic preparation and integration services.  We specialize in individualized treatment planning and care coordination (with organizations within and outside the 'healthcare system'), so that *all* clients who wish to access psychedelic services can receive the highest potential benefit for their unique needs.   Our focus is on serving clients with complex or co-occurring medical and/or mental health conditions, as well as clients who hold marginalized identities or come from historically under-served communities (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Veterans). 

FIRST YEAR PROGRESS:
Sequoia Center incorporated as an Oregon nonprofit corporation in January 2022, and is now officially recognized as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. We received grant funding from the Educational Foundation of America (EFA) to build our basic infrastructure and pilot our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy programs, offering subsidized funding for individuals identifying as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.  

Since April 2022, we have completed 75+ ketamine-assisted sessions (plus assessments, preparation, and integration sessions); all with clients identifying as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.  The most common indication treated was complex trauma & PTSD; others included eating disorders, addiction, severe anxiety, medical trauma, and relationship issues. Clients chose their own hourly out-of-pocket fees according to a restorative justice-informed sliding scale model.  This proved quite successful; we used grant funding to reimburse any difference between clients' chosen hourly rates and our practitioners' hourly rates for services.

In addition to providing individualized services in our offices, we are collaborating and consulting with diverse organizations in the Portland community to bring ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to existing programs and sites.

WHY DONATE TO SEQUOIA CENTER?

1.  As bridge builders between local and national psychedelic communities and the health care system, our network reaches far and wide.  We are regularly approached by a wide variety of individuals and organizations looking for services, education, training, and advising in adapting psychedelic services to their particular needs.  Our mission is first and foremost about accessibility, not just within our own clinic walls (i.e., through making our own services affordable and available to all), but beyond - through helping individuals find the route to psychedelic services that is *best for their unique needs*.  Often, this means getting creative and collaborating with other providers, organizations, and resources, and facilitating communication and cohesion among people with different backgrounds and approaches.  

2. We are a heart-centered team with a wide diversity of skills, expertise, and training backgrounds, including clinical psychology, social work, psychiatry, naturopathic medicine, shamanic healing, art therapy, harm reduction, and peer support. We value bringing together our diversity in the service of a truly interdisciplinary approach where all perspectives are not only valued, but viewed as crucial to success.

3. We value public education and training for new practitioners; our team has vast expertise within these arenas.  In our next year, one of our primary goals is to build out a robust training site, for graduate students, interns, and new practitioners to gain hands-on experience in psychedelic modalities.   This will not only keep our costs down, allowing us to serve a higher volume of clients, but it will provide crucial experience and supervision for trainees. 

4. We value real-world research, particularly where psychedelic services are being offered in new or innovative ways that differ from how they are offered within existing clinical trials.  That is, we aim to improve our own services while simultaneously contributing to a greater understanding of the effectiveness of psychedelic services across contexts.  Data is only ever collected with full consent from the clients we serve and never used or shared for commercial purposes.  We view participating in outcomes research as a commitment to our own ongoing learning as well as to improving results for the clients we serve.

**Demand for psychedelic-assisted services and education is currently greater than available resources, and this gap is expected to intensify for the next several years, as the infrastructure for services must catch up to existing public and political hype.  Your donation will go directly towards resource and service expansion, allowing us to serve more clients, train more new practitioners, and educate more communities**

We provide in-depth, highly relational mindfulness education for youth and the parents and professionals who support them.

Young people deserve our best attention and the greatest support we can offer, especially when it comes to teaching them the tools and resources they need to nurture their minds, spirit, and bodies.

Mindfulness is our passion. iBme formed from the foundation of a 30-year lineage of teen mindfulness which began with retreats offered in Barre, Massachusetts in 1989. It is from this foundation that Jessica Morey, co-founder and current lead teacher of iBme who attended her first retreat at age 14, was inspired to launch a non-profit dedicated to teaching mindfulness to young people. Since its founding in 2010, iBme has grown from a nonprofit based in Washington, DC to an international organization that holds retreats across the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and online — all offered with no teen ever turned away for lack of funds. With its core mission of teen mindfulness, iBme also practices Equity & Interdependence within and without the organization, specifically fostering a Collaborative Leadership model for shared decision-making and strategy-building across diverse staff, teachers, mindfulness practitioners, youth and young adults, and a myriad of committees.

Mindfulness, simply defined, is observing what’s happening in the present moment, with kindness and curiosity. We introduce young people to the practice of mindfulness by leading them through guided meditations, mindful movement, small group discussions and engaging group activities.

Using innovative formats and teaching frameworks, we impart lessons in self-awareness, empathy, and employ techniques to calm and focus the mind. A deep sense of calm can be felt just hours into many of our retreats as mindfulness practices help deep listening skills and communication, essential competencies for success in all areas of life. Our retreats also teach how to apply mindfulness skills to daily life, along with ways to connect with nature and practice creative expression. The uniqueness of the iBme retreat model is that it allows participants to gain a level of insight into their own experience and achieve authentic connection with peers that is often challenging to achieve in their daily lives.

Research on the impact of iBme retreats has demonstrated that, following their retreat, teens experienced increased self-compassion and life satisfaction, along with decreased rumination and reactivity. Young adults and parents regularly share that iBme programs are transformative. More than 50% of participants return for future retreats and demand for our programs continue to grow across the US and internationally.

InterPride brings together Pride networks and individual Pride organizations around the world.

InterPride is the international organization that advances the Pride movement by coordinating with global partners that share our values.

We are uniquely suited to carry out our work because InterPride:

- Works with and supports the visibility and development of Pride networks around the world, thereby contributing to the presence and influence of Pride efforts at regional and local levels.
- Gathers regional Pride platforms dedicated to producing Pride events for diverse global SOGIESC (Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Expressions, and Sex Characteristics) communities to learn and grow with each other.
- Manages, supports, and awards WorldPride™, global grant programs, and related initiatives.
In 1982, the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators was formed in Boston, USA, with an initial membership of six USA Pride organizers. Over time membership has grown to include Pride organizers around the world, becoming InterPride in 1999. In 2021, membership totaled over 300 organizations from more than 60 countries. This growth has been matched by increasing diversity of membership. Since 2015, non-North American members have grown from 21% to 49%. This trend primarily reflects increased participation from Oceania and Global South (Africa, Asia, and South America).

The Pride movement continues to evolve. Pride has gained a presence in locations where it was previously absent or under-developed. There has also been significant growth in structures that gather Pride organizers together at a national or international level (known as Pride Platforms). This trend has created opportunities for InterPride to identify ways to better leverage regional knowledge to advance the rights of SOGIESC communities.
