How can we ensure healthy and safe school climates for LGBTQ youth – particularly youth of color – in the present political environment? The Schott Foundation for Public Education and Funders for LGBTQ Issues have engaged in a new partnership aimed at increasing philanthropic investment to expand opportunities to learn for LGBTQ youth.  In this session, we’ll present highlights from a new report and engage participants in a call to action to mobilize resources. This session will provide a snapshot and analysis of giving data and trends for LGBTQ education and provide an opportunity to engage in dialogue with leaders on the frontlines of fighting for education equity, including leading advocates and policy and research leaders. Participants will understand the urgent and key challenges facing LGBTQ students, review and respond to opportunities, and be provided with tangible opportunities and recommendations for investment.
