Triangle Foundation works closely with the media. We work to ensure that GLBT people and our issues are covered fairly and accurately.

Triangle Foundation provides media technical assistance to Michigan non-profit organizations and groups who want to influence debate, shape public opinion, and garner positive media attention. We seek to work with organizations working on issues that will empower the GLBT and allied communities with real social change. In addition to our media tools and resources, Triangle Foundation offers individualized media trainings at your location, and tailored interactive media strategizing to match your specific needs.
