GUTC is an investment in the future, fostering a philanthropic environment that addresses both immediate and long-term needs for trans and gender-nonconforming communities.
Amid rising global threats to LGBTQ rights, Funders for LGBTQ Issues’ research plays a crucial role in driving change. Our Resource Tracking Report—now in its 20th year—offers vital insights into the state of LGBTQ grantmaking, revealing funding gaps and trends that inform more strategic support for queer communities nationwide. By supporting our research, you’re amplifying the data and knowledge needed to mobilize resources effectively and foster transformative change in philanthropy.
Supporting QTPIES means investing in a vital community for LGBTQ+ philanthropic professionals, where connection, empowerment, and authenticity are at the core. With your donation, QTPIES can continue to create safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ leaders to grow and collaborate, strengthening their impact across the sector. Your support helps build a brighter, more inclusive future in philanthropy—one where LGBTQ+ professionals are uplifted and empowered to drive transformative change.
Join us in fueling the movement for LGBTQ+ liberation by supporting Funders for LGBTQ Issues.
Since our founding in 1982, Funders for LGBTQ Issues has transformed the landscape of LGBTQ philanthropy. What began with less than $250,000 in foundation funding for LGBTQ+ issues has grown to an incredible $258.1 million by 2022. But we’re not there yet—in fact, LGBTQ communities still receive less than 25 cents for every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations. That’s why your support is more essential than ever.
Every dollar you give supports this work directly, creating more opportunities for the next generation and paving the way to a world where all queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming people can thrive.
