About grants for lgbtq nonprofits

LGBTQ nonprofits are supported by a dedicated philanthropic field of large foundations, community foundations, and grassroots intermediaries. Major funders include the Gill Foundation and the Arcus Foundation, while LGBTQ community foundations such as the Horizons Foundation, Pride Foundation, and Stonewall Community Foundation fund regionally. Intermediaries like the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice and Groundswell Fund reach smaller grassroots groups, and Funders for LGBTQ Issues organizes the broader funder community.

What grants are available for LGBTQ nonprofits?

Funding supports advocacy and equal rights, movement building, health and safety, arts and culture, economic justice, and services for LGBTQ communities, with a particular emphasis on transgender and intersex programs among some funders. Grants range from large strategic investments by national foundations to flexible general support grants for grassroots organizations.

Which foundations fund LGBTQ causes?

Leading dedicated funders include the Gill Foundation and the Arcus Foundation, alongside LGBTQ community foundations such as the Horizons Foundation, Pride Foundation, and Stonewall Community Foundation. Intermediaries like the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice and Groundswell Fund make grants to smaller grassroots groups, and Funders for LGBTQ Issues supports the broader field.

Can small or grassroots LGBTQ groups get funding?

Yes. Several funders specifically prioritize small and mid-sized grassroots organizations that have trouble securing grants elsewhere, offering flexible general support grants that can range from a few thousand dollars up to larger awards. Many work through fiscal sponsors, so lacking your own 501(c)(3) status is not always a barrier. Match your work to each funder's focus and check eligibility before applying.
