Pride Month 2023
Celebrated in June, Pride Month honors the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City -- a pivotal moment for the LGBTQ community. More than 50 years later, LGBTQ+ people continue to face discrimination, violence, wage gaps, and barriers to quality healthcare and education. In 2023, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state houses across the U.S – a new record. Despite LGBTQ organizations seeing a recent uptick in philanthropic support, these organizations only received 0.13% of overall charitable giving in 2019. This guide aims to help donors better understand these issues and provides ways to support LGBTQ+ people.
