Sector Event: Grantmaking for Disability: LGBTQIA+ Funding

Presented by the Disability and Philanthropy Forum

An estimated 3 – 5 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people live with disabilities. However, funding for disability rights and justice represented only one cent of every $10 in foundation grants awarded in 2019, and only 28 cents of every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations in 2021 specifically supported LGBTQ communities. As we witness a spike in homophobic, transphobic, and ableist legislation passing across the United States, philanthropy must take action to fund inclusion, rights, and justice for disabled LGBTQIA+ communities.

We’ll cover topics including:

• The lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ community members with disabilities
• Key disparities in funding disabled LGBTQIA+ communities
• How funders can support disabled LGBTQIA+ communities
