At a moment when LGBTQ+ organizations are facing an unprecedented funding crisis, one thing has never been clearer: our community is our greatest source of power.

This summer, Stonewall Community Foundation was busy! From celebrating LGBTQ+ changemakers to dancing on the beach, we spent the season doing what we do best: building power through community.

In a year shaped by political attacks, funding cuts, and growing uncertainty, one truth held steady: when our community embraces one another, we build something stronger than fear.

This August, Stonewall Community Foundation proudly announced the first ten recipients of the inaugural Reclaiming Our Power grant cycle, one of our most ambitious multi-year funding initiatives to date.

In late January, four members of the Stonewall team traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the 2026 Creating Change Conference.

Over the last few years, the world has been dealing and living with new and reemerging pandemics. At Stonewall, we’re also fighting the decades-old pandemic that has cost more than 40 million lives since it surfaced: HIV.
