Bay Area and California funders - here's your call to support local organizations working on the ground to safeguard and strengthen democracy. Whatever your focus, funding multiracial organizing for democracy at the local level will bring more voices to the table and build more power to solve our critical issues.

Data from Funders for LGBTQ Issues show that for every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations in 2020, only 23 cents specifically supported LGBTQ communities and issues. For every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations, less than 5 cents supported transgender communities in both 2019 and 2020. In the face of that stark reality, and in this time of escalating assaults against Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) communities, we offer this give guide as a signal of immense opportunity for donors at all levels of giving to answer the call of our movements.
