LGBTQ+ people make up nearly 10% of the U.S. population. But the nonprofits serving them receive less than 0.2% of all U.S. charitable giving.

We started the Fund for Queer Causes because we’ve felt that gap, both as members of the queer community and as nonprofit professionals. We know firsthand that this gap in giving is about so much more than just funding. It’s a crisis of visibility, equity, and access.

We also know that even when people want to give, it can be hard to know where to start.

That’s why we created a way to give that’s literally easy as 1-2-3:

1. Donate securely online, or with cash, stock, or through a donor-advised fund.
2. Our all-queer Fund committee identifies where funding can do the most good.
3. The Fund mobilizes unrestricted grants to verified local LGBTQ+ nonprofits.

And the best part? That 1-2-3 cycle doesn’t end. The Fund is built to grow over time, so every gift helps create lasting, year-round support for local LGBTQ+ nonprofits.

Every gift helps power the life-affirming, community-building work these organizations do every day, and gets us that much closer to closing that gap.
