At 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., we're proud to team up with Point Foundation for the second year in a row to support LGBTQ students in honor of Pride month. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within our company and beyond.
We believe in fostering a culture where every team member, customer, and partner feels respected, valued, and empowered. Embracing diversity, and celebrating the uniqueness of every individual, makes us a better company and strengthens our community.
As part of our support, we are granting $25,000 in scholarships and funding to Point Scholars. With this, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of LGBTQ students, helping them to reach their full potential.
For more than two decades, Point Foundation has led the way in supporting LGBTQ students nationwide as the largest LGBTQ scholarship-granting nonprofit. These scholarships support students at all levels of higher education, in every field of study.
Point Scholars represent a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. More than half are first-generation college students, and a significant percentage identify as transgender or nonbinary, and more than 80% are BIPOC. Alumni of the foundation have gone on to excel in in every profession, including law, education, art, politics, business, and healthcare, making a tangible difference in their respective communities.
To further celebrate Pride and support the LGBTQ community, we invite our customers to explore our exclusive collection of rainbow-themed gifts from our family of brands.
Happy Pride month!
