Happy Pride Month from Forefront
Happy Pride Month! This month (and every month) is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and recognize the dynamic nature of gender and sexuality, the work that has been done and the work that we still need to do to ensure inclusivity for all.

LEGISLATIVE WIN! Forefront applauds the passage of the Audit Threshold (HB1197) that will relieve the disproportionate cost and administrative burdens on Illinois’ smallest nonprofit organizations. This bill will allow these organizations to focus on fulfilling their missions instead of paperwork. This bill will reach Governor Pritzker's desk, hopefully for final signature. Thank you to: Introducing Sponsors: State Representative Maurice West and State Senator Laura Murphy Bipartisan Co-Chief Sponsors in the House: State Representative Lakesia Collins, State Representative Lindsey LaPointe Representative Suzanne Ness and Rep Norine K Hammond Bipartisan Co-Chief Sponsors in the Senate: Senator Doris Turner and Senator Dale Fowler Community Partners: Arts Alliance Illinois Illinois Collaboration on Youth Illinois Partners for Human Service Illinois CPA Society Illinois Attorney General And a special thank you to YOU! The witness slips and emails, social media, and phone calls to your legislators made all the difference. Learn more by viewing Forefront's Audit Threshold Fact Sheet and stay tuned for more information.
