The Gay Auckland Business Association's Charitable Trust has just donated over $10,000 to a wide variety of LGBT community organisations. Below, GABA Trust Chair Geoffrey Marshall reveals who got the money and the various projects it will be spent on. NZ AIDS Memorial Quilt Project The NZ AIDS Memorial Quilt Project wishes to establish a website where the history of the quilts can be recorded, and images of the quilts can be viewed. It is also becoming difficult and expensive to transport the increasingly fragile quilt panels for display. We believe that the quilts are an important part of our history and should be preserved and also be available to view. The Trust has granted $2,000 to assist with developing the website and is offering expertise in the future management of the quilts themselves. GALS - Gay proud secondary student who is recognized by their teachers and fellow students as a good role-model, to assist that student with their first year of tertiary study. We celebrated the inaugural year by giving scholarships to two fantastic students and we have allocated $2,000 from this year's grants for the second year of the scholarship, to be awarded later this year. Outline NZ Outline has been paying a high rental for its telephone system and has asked for assistance to develop a new one. We have not allocated money at this stage but GABA is working to secure a sponsorship deal which may need to be backed up with trust money.
