9.3% of the population. 0.16% of the funding. Let's change that.


The LGBTQ+ community makes up 9.3% of the US population, yet only 0.16% of donations go to LGBTQ+ organizations...in a good year. The new Fund for Queer Causes is one easy and powerful way you can help close that gap for DMV-based nonprofits.


Thanks to early donors, the co-founders of the Fund just announced its first grant as well as personally matching at least $2,000 in new gifts through World Pride (watch on Instagram). Let's keep closing that gap!
