Executive Director

Stonewall Community Foundation (SCF or “Stonewall”) strengthens the LGBTQ+ community and Movement by making strategic, values-driven investments in dynamic organizations, projects, and leaders.

As a public foundation, SCF does that in close partnership with the people impacted by their mission, their diverse and global supporter base, and the many individuals pushing forward the front lines of progress.

SCF raises money and funds hundreds of nonprofits every year in over 30 issue areas that advance queer liberation, including racial, social, and economic justice. They also administer a variety of donor funds and have historically housed six unique scholarship programs, 3 of which are active, including the largest in the country created to support LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers.

SCF grantmaking, which began during the height of the AIDS crisis, is complemented by capacity building initiatives that equip changemakers with the tools needed to maximize their impact. That includes free consulting, coaching, and monthly workshops.

In all they do—from seed funding to planned giving—their priority is to make the greatest difference possible. SCF’s contributed revenue comes from institutional and individual funders supporting a range of issue areas, from health and housing to advocacy and art.

• 47% of overall operating revenue is from corporate partnerships
• 15% is from foundations
• 38% is from individuals (including Board)
• Overall, 35% of total revenue is from special events (Vision, Revel) which includes corporate, foundation, and individual gifts
