Dear Friends,George Bernard Shaw‘s dictum that “youth is wasted on the young” is certainly not applicable to Point Scholars and Alumni. In 2012, Point welcomed 29 new scholars who had collectively devoted 16,000 hours of volunteer time to projects benefiting their communities. All of Point’s 76 current scholars are undertaking individual community service projects developed with the guidance of their Point Mentors. Our scholars are using their energies to give back to the LGBTQ community and improve society for all. We couldn’t be prouder of them.“Pay it forward” is the expression Point Scholars often use to describe making the most of the opportunities made available to them. When we founded Point eleven years ago we weren’t schooled yet in the popular vernacular of “pay it forward,” but we saw that LGBTQ youth needed our support. Point provides a way for one generation to help the next—which is imperative for the continued development of the LGBTQ community.So many people, organizations and companies have joined us in devoting resources, time and knowledge to growing Point and helping our scholars. Hopefully, they all have found that supporting Point’s mission enriches not just our scholars’ lives, but their own, too. Point is fortunate to have a growing number of amazing partners who believe in our mission and investing in the next generation of society’s leaders. In 2012, Wells Fargo announced it would

increase the company’s already generous support by providing 1.5 million over four years for new Point scholarships, events and programs. The Palette Fund, for the third year, made it possible for three of our scholars to work on intensive summer internship projects benefiting the LGBTQ community. Steadfast supporter David Henry Jacobs was not only the largest single sponsor of Point’s 2012 Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference, but he also funded a very successful matching donation campaign. The commitment to Point’s mission by these major donors is matched by thousands of individuals who want to help Point Scholars make a difference in the world. Listening at the summer Leadership Conference to Point Scholars and Alumni in the medical and public health realms discuss with great insight and authority the current state of HIV/AIDS research, treatment and prevention, we have no doubt that Point is helping prepare the next generation of leaders. Point Foundation is able to empower promising LGBTQ students and help them create a better future because of the leadership you, our donors, mentors and supporters provide today. There is no better way to pay it forward than working together, and we are so pleased to count you as part of the Point family.With gratitude,Bruce Lindstrom & Carl StricklandFounders

Dear Point Supporters, We are very happy to share with you Point Foundation’s 2011 – 2012 Annual Report, recognizing the Foundation’s eleventh year of accomplishments since its founding in 2001. Point welcomed 29 new scholars in 2012, bringing the total number of Point Scholars supported in the 2012 – 2013 academic year to 76. This past year, we also celebrated the 21 scholars who received their higher education degrees. These new graduates are on their way to successful careers in diverse fields, including medicine, architecture, psychology, law, education, the arts and media. All of our 145 alumni remain committed to helping the LGBTQ community by utilizing the leadership skills they developed as Point Scholars.Leadership is not just a hallmark of being a Point Scholar. It is a key quality of the dedicated individuals who serve as Point Mentors or as members of Point’s Board of Regents, Board of Trustees and Honorary Board. We continue to develop and strengthen our organizational governance through a strategic planning process that will further Point’s mission. In Fiscal 2012, Point was fortunate to have over 330 people volunteer with us, including mentors to each of our Point Scholars, application readers, office assistance, logistic support with Point Honors and Cornerstone events, and many hours of work by our regents, trustees and honorary board members who serve on various committees. This year alone, these volunteers graciously contributed 20,679 total hours, making so much of what Point does possible.

To recognize some truly exemplary, long-time supporters of Point, we established an Honorary Board and welcomed as its inaugural members Judith Light and Herb Hamsher. This year also saw the launch of our Valedictorian Society, inviting new professionals to take an important step in fostering a personal culture of philanthropy by becoming supporters of Point.Earlier this year, we held Regional Leadership Forums in eight cities across the country, demonstrating the nationwide scope of Point’s mission to empower LGBTQ students. In July, we held our annual Scholar and Alumni Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., providing more than 160 members of the Point family an opportunity to engage directly with elected officials, members of the Administration, policy experts and the media. It is vital that Point continue to provide opportunities like these, because too many young people are still told they cannot pursue their dreams of a higher education simply because they are an LGBTQ person. Thanks to your support—and that of so many individuals, corporations and organizations—Point is able to help these deserving students achieve their full academic and leadership potential, allowing them to make a significant impact on society. Sincerely,Shelley Fischel, Esq. Kyle Spainhour Co-Chair Co-Chair Board of Directors Board of Directors

Attaining a higher education degree became possible for 29 undergraduate and graduate students who received Point Foundation Scholarships in 2012. All demonstrate academic excellence, leadership skills, community involvement, financial need, and the ability to overcome obstacles.Close to 2,000 scholarship applications were submitted to Point, making this the second highest number of applications ever received by the Foundation. The new scholarship recipients join 47 current Point Scholars, for a total of 76 students receiving financial assistance and programmatic support from Point during the 2012 – 2013 academic year.

Point’s multifaceted support for scholars extends far beyond our direct financial contribution toward the cost of their education. Each scholar is paired with a mentor, and participates in leadership development and training in civic engagement. Point Scholars give back to the LGBTQ community through the completion of an individual community service project each year. What unites all our Point Scholars, no matter what their background, is their commitment to improving society and being agents of change.

“Receiving the Point Scholarship was the difference between finishing my bachelor’s degree or having to drop out. It also has provided me with the comfort of knowing I have an amazing group of mentors and peers to help me make a difference in the queercommunity.”

From July 19-22, Point Scholars and Alumni, along with regents, trustees and staff, convened in Washington, D.C. as a single community for the 2012 Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference. The Leadership Dinner during the Conference honored John Berry, the Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the highest-ranking openly LGBT person in the federal government. The Conference agenda included guest speakers, workshops and panel discussions, including “Perspectives on the LGBTQ Agenda,” “LGBTQ Leadership & Diversity,” and ”Point Scholar Voices on HIV/AIDS,” —which featured

seven current Point Scholars who are doing important work in public health and medicine. Conference attendees were treated to a private tour of the U.S. Capitol Building with Congressman David Cicilline, a past Point Mentor, as well as a tour of the White House. Katie Miller, Point Alumna and White House Intern, assisted Gautam Raghavan, the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, in arranging for a briefing with LGBTQ staff from a number of federal agencies and departments.

Our thanks to the 2012 Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference sponsors: Leadership Sponsor, David Henry Jacobs; Entrepreneurial Sponsors: Citi Community Development, Time Warner Inc. and Wells Fargo; Sponsors: Audi, Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies, Motorola Mobility Foundation, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Ralph Lauren and Walmart; Media Sponsor, The Washington Blade.

“The Point Foundation and the Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference reminded me of my purpose. I feel empowered by the fact that I have knowledge to share and that there is far more for me to learn. I am renewed by the reminder that I have so much to offer the world and the world has so much more to offer me. “

Point Foundation is committed to helping our scholars develop the skills they need to become leaders in their respective professions, communities and society. Every year of their funding term, Point Scholars are required to complete a Community Service Project (CSP) that will positively affect the LGBTQ community. CSPs provide valuable learning experiences to our scholars in community-based, partnership-oriented, leadership development, civic engagement and intergenerational mentoring.

In one of many notable CSPs from the past year, Izzy Pellegrine surveyed Mississippi school superintendents about their perspectives on school bullying as part of a research project that addresses the experiences of LGBTQ youth and best practices about school safety policy. In another, Jeremy Bearer-Friend, a current scholar at Stanford Law School, worked with the Dean of Admissions to improve outreach and resources for transgender law students and applicants.News and updates about scholar CSPs can be found on the ViewPoint Scholar and Alumni blog at www.pointfoundation.org/viewpoint.

“One of the goals of my Community Service Project includes teaching future physicians to be not only comfortable with LGBTQ patients, but excited to have them as patients. This is vital to improving the health of our LGBTQ communities. These physicians will carry their skills forward and impact tens of thousands of lives in their careers.”

Derek BlechingerRand Skolnick Point ScholarGrowing up gay in rural Minnesota, Derek struggled with his sexuality in school, in church, at home, and even in his doctor’s office. The powerful role a physician can play in people’s lives has inspired Derek to study medicine at the University of Washington Medical School. Derek plans to become not only an exemplary physician, but also a compassionate healer for those marginalized by either their sexuality or gender.

Mentors are also encouraged to join scholars at Point’s Regional Leadership Forums and other events.Scholars are not alone in benefiting from Point’s Mentoring Program. Mentors have the opportunity to enrich their own lives and contribute to the building of intergenerational communication and support networks to benefit the LGBTQ community. For more information on Point’s Mentoring Program, visit www.pointfoundation.org.

Cary CrallWells Fargo Point ScholarBorn into a devout Mormon family, Cary values his religious tradition for teaching him to serve others. However, Cary often felt the strain of a religious institution that failed to validate his sexual identity. While at Brigham Young University, he submitted an opinion piece to the school’s newspaper challenging the Mormon Church’s support of Proposition 8, the California ballot proposition denying recognition of same-sex marriage.

The letter drew national media attention after it was censored. For his efforts in writing and defending his letter, Cary was named one of the “Forty Under 40” by The Advocate. He is currently studying at the Harvard Medical School.

Each Point Scholar is provided with a mentor who is a prominent and caring professional in the LGBTQ and straight-allied community. Point Mentors assist their Point Scholars with career decisions, including the pursuit of graduate studies and job opportunities after graduation. Through lending their professional expertise and career guidance, Point Mentors become important role models to scholars, while meaningfully broadening their own experience. Point conducts mentor training forums, provides each mentor-scholar pair with a

“The funds I receive from Point provide crucial help in fulfilling an immediate financial need, but the mentoring program is how Point can help me for a lifetime. Growing up, I did not know any gay men who could serve as role models for how to navigate the obstacles that stand in the way of LGBTQ people. My mentor, Jim Dabakis, has met his challenges in a way that I find inspiring. He has already provided invaluable support helping me plan my Community Service Project and is enthusiastic about my success going forward. He is my cheerleader, confidante, and friend.”

Thanks to the generous support of The Palette Fund, for the third year in a row, Point was able to provide three scholars with an innovative paid internship at the nonprofit organization of their choice.This year’s internships were awarded to Maggie Keenan-Bolger at the NYC Division of Green Chimneys, an organization that is dedicated to creating safe space for LGBTQ youth who are in foster care or homeless; Sarah Young at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society; and Derrick Miller-Handley at the Hetrick-Martin Institute, an organization that serves LGBTQ youth between the ages of 12 and 24 and their families, through comprehensive direct services and referrals that foster healthy youth development. These nonprofit organizations benefited by having a gifted student work for them during the summer without incurring the expense of paying for the internships, while each scholar received invaluable hands-on work experience in the LGBTQ community.

For more information about providing internship opportunities to Point Scholars, please contact Point Foundation at info@pointfoundation.org.

“My internship revealed to me how under-resourced most Southern LGBTQ organizations are, and yet how amazing these organizations are at fighting for social justice in a very hostile region. I’m humbled to have been able to work with the Southern Poverty Law Center, thanks to Point Foundation and The Palette Fund.” Sarah Young, Point Scholar Studying Social Work at University of Alabama

“I wasn’t always sure it would be possible for me to achieve my dreams as an openly gay man, but Point Foundation recognized my hard work and promise and invested in me. Point Scholars and Alumni are a community that I feel grounded in, and I can feel comfortable being myself at all times.”

Diego ArangoDiego Arango was raised in New Jersey and Florida. He graduated from Columbia University in 2012, where he majored in architecture and now works at Joeb Moore + Partners. Diego hopes to eventually own his own architecture firm, and will continue his involvement in the LGBTQ community and be a positive role model to gay youth.

2012 Alumni Conference

Point’s fourth Alumni Conference was held in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the organization’s Leadership Conference from July 19-22, 2012. At the beginning of the conference, Point Alumni joined scholars, board members and staff for a private tour of the U.S. Capitol Building, as well as an exclusive White House briefing with LGBTQ staff members of various government agencies and offices. At the conference, Point Alumni divided into affinity groups to focus on topics such as leadership, career development, finance and wellness, and goals and objectives for the upcoming year.

Point’s current 145 alumni are committed to using their talents and education to contribute to society and to the LGBTQ community. Recent graduates have gone on to work at corporations and law firms, teach at prestigious universities, direct and perform in award-winning film and stage works, as well as devote their leadership skills to helping nonprofits in their communities. We are fortunate and grateful that our alumni also are giving back to Point, through donations and volunteering as regents, trustees, mentors and subcommittee members.

“Your determination to advance the civil rights of our community inspires future generations to do the same. Thank you for your contributions to Point Foundation, which is helping me fulfill my dreams of becoming the first openly gay astronaut and to serve my country.”

Named ScholarshipsThe Named Scholarships program allows individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations to provide substantial support to Point Foundation by honoring the name of an individual or organization and by making a significant impact in the life of a deserving student. A Named Scholarship requires a minimum commitment of $100,000. This gift can be donated either in one payment, or through a commitment to make four annual $25,000 donations in consecutive years. Named Scholarships are a living and public testament to one’s commitment to diversity and leadership through education.

Named Scholarships in Perpetuity Endowing a Named Scholarship in Perpetuity creates a lasting legacy that will fund the education of Point Scholars in perpetuity. Point Foundation will invest a contribution of $500,000 or more in our endowment fund and use the investment income to finance the education of Point Scholars now and far into the future. A Named Scholarship in Perpetuity makes it possible to honor the name of an individual or organization and to create an ongoing legacy of learning and leadership.

Individuals making charitable gifts to Point from their estate, or through other life-income arrangements, are nourishing Point’s extraordinary achievements and ensuring that Point’s mission continues for future generations of deserving students.Introduced in 2006, the Legacy Circle was established to honor, memorialize and thank those friends of Point Foundation who have arranged a bequest or planned gift to the organization. Point works with Legacy Circle donors and their executors to create a program that meets both the wishes of the donor and the needs of our scholarship recipients. Bequests can be used to fund Point’s leadership and mentoring programs, in addition to Named Scholarships, ensuring recognition of the donor’s generosity for generations to come. If you would like to provide for Point in your estate plans, please contact our development department at info@pointfoundation.org or 866.93.POINT.

When Point was founded in 2001, there were four contributing donors. Today, Point is happy to count 8,300 individuals, corporations and foundations as contributors over the past 11 years. This includes members of the Cornerstone Society, a philanthropic group of dedicated individuals who recognize the importance of helping young people reclaim their own self-worth through education. Cornerstone Society members ensure that Point can continue its mission of providing scholarships, mentoring and leadership training well into the future by supporting the important work of Point Foundation with a minimum annual contribution of $500.

The Cornerstone Society is a national donor campaign aimed at expanding Point’s membership enrollment and growing our philanthropic support. To accomplish these goals, a series of Cornerstone Society events, planned in conjunction with local host committees, are held throughout the country. This year, Cornerstone Society cocktail receptions were held in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C., and typically featured presentations by host committee members, Point Scholars, Alumni and staff. Additional benefits are available to Cornerstone Society members based on the level of their financial support. A contribution to Point’s Cornerstone Society helps revolutionize the face of the LGBTQ community through the impact of education. For their convenience, donors to the Cornerstone Society can also contribute in quarterly or monthly installments.

Benefactor: $10,000 and above Patron: $5,000 - $9,999 Ambassador: $2,500 - $4,999 Associate: $1,000 - $2,499 Friend: $500 - $999
