Our Legacies Can Fuel Our Movement

August is Make a Will Month, a powerful opportunity to reflect on what we care about most and to ensure those values live on. For LGBTQ+ people and allies, it’s also a time to consider how our legacies can fortify the future of our communities and movement.

Stonewall Community Foundation is not just a grantmaker. We are a community-powered organization for queer liberation. Stonewall is a prolific funder of LGBTQ+ issues, supporting over 700 organizations since 1990 to advance racial, social, and economic justice. To date, we’ve invested more than $27 million in grants to LGBTQ+ nonprofits in 132 cities across the country.

Our impact is expansive, but our approach is personal: rooted in equity, relationships, and trust. Planned gifts to Stonewall ensure that LGBTQ+ communities especially those too often pushed to the margins have the resources they need to thrive long into the future.

When you include Stonewall in your estate plans, you join a powerful community of donors in the Stonewall Legacy Circle. This growing group of visionaries ensures that the fight for queer equity and joy continues for generations to come.

Here’s why some of our members chose to make Stonewall part of their legacy:

When you leave a gift to Stonewall, you ensure the next generation has access to life-affirming programs, services, and support. Whether you're updating your will, creating your first one, or exploring your options, now is the time to make your legacy a lifeline. Start the conversation today and help us continue building a freer, more joyful future for all LGBTQ+ people.
