Amplify the power of your philanthropy

Open a new fund with us today. If you already have a donor-advised fund and want a better connection to mission-driven philanthropy, or want to tap into our expertise on grassroots queer organizations, transfer it to Stonewall and tell the world that you stand on the side of LGBTQ+ liberation and racial justice.
How the Fund Partner Program works
Stonewall has a range of standard and specialized options. If you want a donor-advised fund for your family, a customized giving circle, or a more complex vehicle for your philanthropy, whether as an individual or company, we will work with you to design the perfect fund. Every grant you make through Stonewall Community Foundation helps the organizations you support to understand the breadth of LGBTQ+ philanthropy and adds value to the their experience as a grant recipient.
Open a fund
Work with our team to determine which type of fund is right for you and we'll identify a program that meets your interests, giving needs, activity level, and desired impact!
Make a difference
Once your fund is set up, you're ready to start making an impact with your giving! We'll teach you how to use our easy Fund Partner Portal, share giving opportunities with you, send you quarterly newsletters and information about trends in philanthropy and community needs!
Increase Your Impact
Whether you’ve set up your fund with an investment strategy to keep it evergreen, or you directly work to replenish and build it each year — or both! — we are here to help. We have a number of pooled ESG investment options with Trillium Asset Management depending on your outlook and needs. Read More.
We want to make sure people know how good it feels to give until they’re proud.
Benefits
Convenience
With a fund at Stonewall, you never have to scramble in December to make a tax-deductible donation or hunt for tax receipts in April! We’ll do the paperwork, providing timely statements and gift receipts. Our funds also give you the option of making donations on your own timetable, not the IRS’s schedule.
No extra costs
Fees are assessed directly from your fund, and are structured on the size and purpose of the fund. Not a fan of fees? We have good news: every single dollar gets invested in our work with the community and supports our LGBTQ-focused grants and programs. That means your fund is guaranteed to do good, right from day one.
Personal touch
Our staff comes to Stonewall with a deep, personal investment in this work. Many of us have backgrounds in activism and bring our own passion for our community to Stonewall’s fund partners and their interests.
Expertise
If you want advice on how your charitable dollars might best serve the LGBTQ+ community, our expert staff is networked to the organizations doing urgent, valuable, and innovative work. Our recommendations are tailored to your specific interests and always align with community need.
