Mission & Focus Areas

HRC’s filing states that it works to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and realize fundamental fairness and equality. The filing describes advocacy for pro-equality legislation and against discriminatory policies, along with public education, research, coalition-building, member engagement, and communications.

The 2025 grants show support for a range of LGBTQ+ organizations and activities. For example, Equality California Issues PAC says its mission is to support and oppose issues affecting LGBTQ+ civil rights in California. Capital Pride Alliance says it organizes year-round Pride festivities and programs in Washington, DC, to celebrate and grow the community’s legacy. Other 2025 grantees included organizations receiving event support, general program support, and LGBTQ+ community support and preservation grants.

Grantmaking

HRC reported 33 grants totaling $415,500 in filing year 2025. Grants ranged from $5,500 to $76,000, with a median of $10,000.
