Welcome to Effing!
Here at The Effing Foundation, our year actually starts in the month of July. This is also the time when we’re excited to welcome new additions to Effing’s Board of Directors and Advisory Council.
The work that we do at Effing, providing grants to sex-positive artists and educators, comes from the labor and passion from our Board of Directors and Advisory Council staff. These are the talented humans who evaluate projects, give feedback, and ultimately decide who will become the latest grant recipients.
Perhaps the greatest strength of the Effing Foundation is the unique perspectives and knowledge of each Board and Advisory Council member, which deepen our organizational understanding and service to the sex-positive community. This is an invaluable gift.
Without further ado, welcome to the newest members of the Effing Foundation!
