About the Equality Fund
The Equality Fund at the Boston Foundation was established in 2012 to advance the equitable treatment of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and their families, and to support Greater Boston nonprofit organizations that serve and strengthen the LGBTQ+ community. The Equality Fund’s priorities are guided by an Advisory Committee of community nmembers and allies who possess a depth and breadth of understanding about the most pressing issues affecting LGBTQ+ people today. To date, the Fund has awarded over $2.2 million to 104 LGBTQ+ organizations and projects.
About this Application Cycle
Starting in 2023, the Equality Fund embarked on a new strategic vision to better serve Greater Boston’s LGBTQ+ community and, as part of our strategy, contribute meaningfully to address the racial and ethnic inequities that exist within this community.
The Equality Fund’s grant-making approach takes a proactive intersectional lens, as we work across the many diverse spaces that make up the LGBTQ+ community to support the most urgent community needs. This year, the Equality Fund is awarding grants at three levels: a) $1,000–$5,000, b) $10,000, and c) $25,000.
