Top 10 Foundations Opposing Traditional Marriage

Meet The Top 10 Foundations Giving to LGBT Causes
JACOB LONG SEPTEMBER 11

Some organizations have been throwing tens of millions of dollars at the LGBT community — least we can do is learn a little about them.

In 2010, $72.6 in global philanthropy reached the doorsteps of LGBT people, figuratively speaking. That’s out of a total $1.2 billion of worldwide philanthropy, as reported by a new study from the Foundation Center. The Center was established in 1956 and claims to “maintain the most comprehensive database on U.S. and, increasingly, global grant makers and their grants.” It partnered with The International Human Rights Funders Group(IHRFG) — a global network of donors and grant makers — for the June study, “the first research report of its kind.”

Arcus Foundation
Ford Foundation
Gill Foundation (Denver)
Eveyln and Walter Haas Jr. Fund
Open Society Foundation (George Soros)
Astrea Lesbian Foundation for Justice
Proteus Fund
Tides Foundation
American Jewish World Service
Been Around Since: 1997
This one’s a doozy. More than $4 billion in grants since its inception (and it’s still got just under $3 billion in its coffers). It’s a charitable arm of an investment firm and ranks in the top 25 foundations in the country — it also claims to give money in every state and “almost” every country.  They made claim to this list without even focusing on LGBT issues, their grants going to programs focused on anything from religion to environmental issues.  Learn more at http://bit.ly/19E9ZCN.
