Session: Beyond Grants: Building the Infrastructure that Sustains LGBTI Movements

Time: 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: 1.20 - Veilingzaal
Track: Resources & Leadership

Description

At a moment when anti-gender movements are reshaping democratic institutions, civic space, and the rules governing public life worldwide, the global funding landscape for LGBTI communities is entering a period of acute contraction and strategic uncertainty. After more than a decade of growth, global LGBTI funding declined for the first time in over ten years, representing a 5% decline overall. Despite modest increases in some regions, LGBTI communities still receive less than $0.33 of every $100 in global foundation giving. Meanwhile, anti-gender actors mobilize resources at unprecedented scale. This session brings together senior philanthropic leaders, intermediaries, and movement partners, to examine how donors respond or fail to respond.
