Amplifying the power of philanthropy
Want to amplify the power of your philanthropy every year? Join our fund partner program and help make nearly a million dollars in grants to LGBTQ and other progressive organizations. Our fund partner family includes individuals, couples, families, work teams, and giving circles of friends, and makes use of donor advised funds, scholarship funds, and other customizable vehicles. We are well on our way to yet another year of record-breaking growth, and our fund partners are a major part of that work.
The Dawson Varvara Team @ Compass Realty (pictured here) started a donor-advised fund at Stonewall with a portion of the proceeds from a sale. There are plenty of ways to get involved with our Fund Partner Program!
Stonewall’s Fund Partner Program, one of the pillars of our grantmaking program, ensures that your charitable giving uplifts and empowers our community, while also streamlining the timing and tracking of your individual giving over the course of the year. Whether you want to create a philanthropic home, or set up a fund as a tax benefit to offset a year of high earnings, doing so at Stonewall will help make this a safer, more joyful world for LGBTQ people.
Our fund partners are rising to the challenges of our times with major grants to organizations like the ACLU, Lambda Legal, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Front-line programs, like those at God’s Love We Deliver, the National Queer Asian American and Pacific Islander Alliance, and Chicago’s Center on Halsted, have welcomed their advised grants. They are supporting artists with grants to the Queer National Theatre, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami, and the Fire Island Pines Art Project. They haven’t forgotten amfAR, or the Treatment Action Group, or GMHC. Their alma maters are covered, as are the next generation of students. We couldn’t be more excited by the breadth and depth of the grants that have been advised, or by the way we help empower our community’s organizations with (as often as we can), unrestricted operating support.
Our team is grateful to have the opportunity to suggest organizations to our fund partners, and we are especially grateful to learn about new grantee partners through their suggestions to us. This is how we change the world: sharing, learning, and growing together.
