The HRC Foundation seeks to fundamentally change the way LGBTQ+ people are treated in our everyday lives.

LGBTQ+ people are in every community, every profession and every culture -- and yet often face enormous obstacles simply because of who we are. The HRC Foundation works to build capacity and change policies, practices, hearts and minds in a range of institutions that shape our daily lives.

The HRC Foundation creates impact through 11 programs and initiatives, working with individuals and organizations to make transformational change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people.

Shedding light on injustice

Working across the organization and with allied groups, the team drives groundbreaking research, compelling digital campaigns and one-of-a-kind tools to deepen the public’s understanding of LGBTQ+ people – especially the experiences of LGBTQ+ people with multiple marginalized identities.

Transforming institutions & communities

While our work is vast, we seek to make transformational change by changing policies and practices through consultation, technical assistance and training and pioneering benchmarking tools.

Partnering for change

The strength of the LGBTQ+ community is our diversity. That’s why the HRC Foundation prioritizes actions that support and invest in building the capacity of community advocates both in the U.S. and around the globe, as well as creating strategic partnerships to advance meaningful change.
