IN THE NEWS
Chronicle of Philanthropy: Racial Equity & Grant Making to Gay Causes (May 4, 2008) While foundations that support gay causes have significantly increased their giving to charities led by minorities over the last five years, not all such grant makers make racial equity a priority in their giving, according to a new report by Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues. The Advocate: Digging for Dollars (April 23, 2008) In 2006 less than 9% of total funding for LGBT issues went to groups that work with blacks, Latinos, and other people of color. Conn Corrigan finds out why -- and what’s being done to resolve the imbalance. Chronicle of Philanthropy: 'Foundation Grant Making to Gay Causes Increases by 24%, New Report Finds' [WASHINGTON, DC] (March 6, 2008) Foundation giving to gay causes increased by $65.6 million in 2006, a 24-percent gain over the previous year, according to a new report by Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues. |
