At Stonewall Community Foundation, we strengthen the LGBTQ+ community and Movement by making strategic, values-driven investments in dynamic organizations, projects, and leaders. As a public foundation, we do that in close partnership with impacted communities, our supporters, and the people pushing forward the front lines of progress.

We raise money and fund hundreds of nonprofits every year in over 30 issue areas that advance queer liberation, including racial, social, and economic justice. We also administer a variety of donor advised funds (DAFs) and house six unique scholarship programs, including the largest in the country created to support LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers.

Our grantmaking, which began during the height of the AIDS crisis, is complemented by capacity building initiatives that equip changemakers with the tools needed to maximize impact. That includes free consulting, coaching, and monthly workshops.

In all we do, we believe in centering and investing in the leadership of people who are made to experience the greatest vulnerability in our communities. We also prioritize issues causing the most harm in the lives of LGBTQ+ people and those affording us the greatest joy and opportunity. With that, we are explicitly committed to: ending the criminalization of queerness, gender nonconformity, and poverty; lifting up all communities of color and transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people; funding art and cultural production; embracing disability justice; working to end racism and anti-Blackness; and supporting organizations and work that serve undocumented immigrants and people involved in survival economies.

We’re grateful to The Charlie by Matthew Zink Collective for giving us this platform to share our mission and vision, and we hope you’ll be inspired to get involved.
