Foundations and Grantors

Foundations and the Lesbian and Gay Community

The vast majority of foundations in this country do not fund lesbian and gay civil rights issues. One national foundation consortium estimated that only 0.03% of foundation funding goes toward lesbian and gay groups.

If you know of any other foundations that may be interested in funding Equality Advocates please contact Michael at mludwig@equalitypa.org.

Thank you to our supporters!
