> About Us
Colin
Higgins, screenwriter, director and producer, established the Colin
Higgins Foundation in 1986. Mr. Higgins, who is remembered for his
remarkable human comedies, including Harold And Maude, Silver
Streak, Foul Play and Nine To Five, created the Foundation in
order to further his humanitarian goals.
Grantmaking: The Foundation is particularly interested in assisting organizations that build the power and leadership of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and two-spirit youth.
The
Foundation has also established two scholarship programs in memory
of Colin Higgins at:
The Stanford University Department of English
The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television
These
scholarships support graduate students and filmmakers whose
work enlightens and enriches the human spirit. The universities, and not the Colin Higgins Foundation, administer these scholarship programs.
Youth Courage Awards: In addition to its grantmaking activities, the Foundation annually bestows the Youth Courage Awards to individual LGBTQ youth who have demonstrated bravery in the face of discrimination, intolerance and bigotry based on gender and/or sexual orientation.
