It’s a new year! What are your New Year’s resolutions?

One of our resolutions at Funders for LGBTQ Issues is to work even harder this year to increase philanthropic resources for LGBTQ issues worldwide. To that end, we’d like to highlight the 94 foundations that increased their LGBTQ grantmaking by 25 percent or more in 2013.

Our 2013 honor roll includes:

More than half of these foundations doubled their LGBTQ funding from 2012 to 2013. (Those foundations are noted with an asterisk.)

Collectively, these 94 foundations increased their LGBTQ funding from $29.6 million in 2012 to $55.6 million in 2013 – a nearly 90 percent increase.

Included in this list are community foundations, LGBTQ private foundations, non-LGBTQ private foundations, LGBTQ public foundations, and non-LGBTQ public foundations.

Of course, every cent matters and makes a difference – so a big thank you to every foundation that supported LGBTQ issues and is featured in the 2013 Tracking Report (available here).

Want to learn how you can strategically increase your foundation’s LGBTQ grantmaking while networking with people who are working to the same end? Join us at Funding Forward, March 18-20 in Atlanta. Funding Forward is the annual gathering of grantmakers committed to LGBTQ issues and it is a great opportunity for funders to connect with one another, learn from each other, coordinate efforts, and maximize impact.
