New Funding Opportunities for LGBTQ+ Rights

June 26, 2025

In response to the rise of anti-gender and anti-rights movements and funding cuts to health, research and supporting programs directly impacting the safety and protection of rights of LGBTQ+ communities in the U.S. and abroad, a growing number of donors are stepping in to bridge the gap.

Today we share 5 new funding commitments added to our ImpactMapper 2025 Funding Database, a mapping project on how philanthropies and other donors and investors are meeting this moment:

  • Just Health Fund Tides accepts applications on a rolling basis to support grassroots organizations and leaders on the front lines of protecting, providing, and ensuring health equity for marginalized BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. https://www.tides.org/funds-initiatives/just-health-fund/
  • The Houssian Foundation  Daylight Fund is an open call granting opportunity to address the safety needs of women, 2SLGBTQ+, and non-binary individuals across Canada. The pilot fund aims to support organizations directly working on gender-based safety issues. https://houssianfoundation.org/grants/the-daylight-fund/

Want to follow new funding opportunities? Subscribe to receive free access to our 2025 Funding Database listing 170+ new funding commitments. We have created a detailed taxonomy to make the database more searchable according to users's needs, including fields such as issues funded, regions, type of fund, type of funder, if funds are open to the public or only for current grantees, etc. Our team wanted to help support the social impact and philanthropic and nonprofit sectors at this moment and figured we could use our research and taxonomy creation and coding skills (some of the things we do best at ImpactMapper) to prepare a database on funding commitments and share collated information back to the sector!

Subscribe to request free access to the database here.

We will continue to add to the database this year, so feel free to share other commitments that you see as well by filling this short form and we will update the list regularly.

We will also be writing shorter blogs over the next months, showcasing some of the philanthropic strategies used at this time, including leveraging endowments, DAF funding campaigns, rapid response funding, etc.
