Safe Schools Desert Cities
Safe Schools Desert Cities Corp is a registered non‐profit 501(c)(3) public charity organization, established in 2011. The fund at the Foundation was set up in 2022 to award annual Burton/May Pride Scholarships. These awards, founded by John Burton and Ken May, recognize outstanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, or intersex (LGBTQI) youth who, through their participation, dedication, and initiative have helped foster a positive self-image among other LGBTQI youth.
The Fund welcomes donations of any amount, either one-time or recurring.
