Point Foundation welcomes you to Taste of Point DC 2026, a celebration of Point Scholars, Alumni, and supporters from the DC Metro area.

Taste of Point DC is an annual event celebrating Point Foundation, the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for LGBTQ+ and ally postsecondary students. As part of our 125 Days, 1,250 Dreams, $625,000 campaign, Taste of Point DC is an opportunity for us to raise the funds needed to support our largest class ever during the 2026-2027 academic year! 

The evening features: 

  • Small plates and cocktails from local restaurant and bar partners listed below. 
  • A silent auction featuring items and experiences donated by Point's DC community.
  • Remarks from Point leadership and a local Point Scholar. 
  • A drag performance by Tara Hoot. 
Our 2026 theme is Garden Party, and we recommend pastels, paisleys, and pops of color in your attire. Photos will be provided by John Jack Photography and DJ Tezrah will provide music for the evening.
