Gill Foundation

The Challenge

Where you live shouldn’t determine whether you’re protected. But today, LGBTQ Americans in many states still lack basic legal rights and protections in healthcare, education, housing, and daily life.

 

The Power of Commitment

$459 million in strategic giving

The Gill Foundation has been a leading force behind efforts to secure equal treatment for LGBTQ people across the country—supporting administrative policy change, public education, and legal advocacy on issues such as marriage equality, nondiscrimination protections, family recognition, and ending conversion therapy.

    Explore, research, and determine where strategic investments can improve the greatest number of lives.

    Prioritize philanthropic giving in specific areas to accelerate the pace of progress where it’s needed most.

OUR WORK IN ACTION 

We fund efforts on behalf of all lgbtq Americans:

    • Inclusion and Safety: Supporting administrative policy change and frontline organizations to protect the dignity, safety, and healthcare access of LGBTQ people.
    • Public Education and Cultural Change: Investing in storytelling, research, and public education that increase visibility, shift public opinion, and foster acceptance for LGBTQ communities across the country.
