Shifting Philanthropy: Community-Centric Fundraising and the Future of LGBTQ+ Giving
Over the past several years, philanthropy has been undergoing a transformation. More funders are recognizing the limitations of donor-centric models and exploring new approaches that center equity, trust, and the long-term sustainability of movements.
Reclaiming Our Power
In the face of rising anti-LGBTQ+ violence and legislation, Stonewall is proud to launch the Reclaiming Our Power grantmaking initiative. This new funding effort will provide sustainable, multi-year support to organizations on the front lines of our movement for liberation.
Introducing The Stonewall Legacy Circle
With 2025 marking Stonewall’s 35th anniversary, we’re not just celebrating what we’ve achieved together; we’re laying the foundation for the future. We’re proud to announce the launch of The Stonewall Legacy Circle, our new initiative to make planned giving simple, meaningful, and movement-aligned for supporters who want their legacy to strengthen LGBTQ+ communities for generations to come.
Working Together to Keep LGBTQ+ Movements Resourced
As we step further into 2025, the call to resource LGBTQ+ movements is not just urgent, it’s essential. Across the country, organizations that serve our communities are facing increasing threats and diminished funding, even as demand for their services grows. Take a look at some groups we’re proud to support in this challenging time for our community.
