#LGBTFunding @inclusivegiving The new found strength in funding for gay causes

A posting from lgbtfunders.org landed in my inbox today and showed a tremendous increase in funding to gay (LGBT) causes with support from the Foundation Center’s data.

FoundationSearch too shows a dramatic increase with projected gains over the next three years.

The analysis here is very strong.

Momentum, Resistance, Impact

Smart Strategies including efforts to organize where support is lowest which in the US is the South and Midwest.

+

New Funding Partners including racial equity funders

The projected result = Change including a powerful intersectional movement for social change

How many non LGBT fund seekers have such a strong analysis of what it will take and what can be gained?

Moral = Think big and dare!
