Did you know that while the LGBTQ+ community makes up 9.3% of the US population (Gallup 2024), LGBTQ+ nonprofits only receive 0.16% of charitable donations?
It’s time to close this funding gap, and the new Arlington-based Fund for Queer Causes is one easy and powerful way anyone can help.
The Fund for Queer Causes is building a collective donation pool designed for sustainable long-term growth that provides queer-advised no-strings-attached grants to a variety of LGBTQ+ organizations.
Grants made from the fund will be both responsive to urgent needs – such as supporting our trans community members currently under attack – and also reflective of ongoing needs – such as supporting organizations that foster queer joy.
The more funds we are able to raise, the more sustainable long-term support we will be able to provide to our LGBTQ+ nonprofits and programs. As a supporter, you’ll receive updates on exactly how the funds are used.
Any size donation helps, as does simply spreading the word, and we are so grateful to you for taking the time to read this. All donations to the fund will be receipted for tax-deduction purposes.

Together, we can close the gap between 0.16 and 9.3!
