“I am humbled and honored to be recognized by the NonProfit Times for the second year in a row, especially for work that I feel fortunate to be able to do,” Gregory said. “The work of the True Colors Fund is made possible by a talented team, and we all work side by side every day to inspire everyone to get involved in advancing equality for all, and bringing an end to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth homelessness. I am lucky to get to work with all of them to try to make a difference in the world.”
Our co-founder Cyndi Lauper had this to say:
“I am thrilled that Gregory’s leadership at the True Colors Fund is being recognized for the second year in a row by the NonProfit Times. Gregory has been at the helm of our organization since we founded it together six years ago. His smart, strategic plans continue to see successes beyond our our wildest expectations, especially around our work to help gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender homeless youth across the United States.”
Gregory and the other 49 executives who made the list will be honored in Washington, D.C., in September during the annual NonProfit Times’ Power & Influence Top 50 Gala.
