LGBTQ+ Nonprofits Get Less Than 1Percent of All Charitable Giving, Report Finds

A new report on giving to LGBTQ+ organizations found that, from 2015 to 2019, they received just 0.13percent of overall philanthropic support but grew their giving faster than non-LGBTQ+ groups during that time. Donations to LGBTQ+ groups increased 46.3 percent, while contributions to non-LGBTQ+ nonprofits grew just 24.9 percent. Researchers ended their study in 2019, the most recent year they could access near-complete tax filings from organizations. The findings come from Equitable Giving Lab, a research project of the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy that digs into how philanthropy serves historically marginalized communities.
