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

$446 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 policy change, public education, and legal advocacy on issues ranging from marriage equality to nondiscrimination protections.

Our Approach

  • Learn.

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

  • Focus.

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

  • Collaborate.

    Partner with allied foundations and individuals to fund together and increase our collective impact.

OUR WORK IN ACTION 

We fund efforts on behalf of all lgbtq Americans:

    • LGBTQ Rights and Legal Protections: Advancing nondiscrimination, defending civil liberties in court, and ensuring equal treatment under the law.
    • Transgender Inclusion and Safety: Supporting policy change, public education, and frontline organizations that protect the rights, dignity, and healthcare access of transgender people.
    • Public Education and Cultural Change: Investing in storytelling, research, and public education campaigns that increase visibility, shift public opinion, and foster acceptance for LGBTQ communities across the country.
    • Movement Building: Strengthening the leadership, capacity, and collaboration of LGBTQ organizations—especially in underfunded regions—so progress is lasting, local, and sustainable.
