A Campaign for Native GLBT Funding Justice

Two recent national philanthropy reports have concluded that gay funders contributed $37 million in one year to LGBT organizations across the United States. The average grant to gay organizations nationally is $16,000 a year. But Native American Two Spirit People, serving the poorest of all the LGBT communities, received only 4 small grants of about $2,500.

Gay funders have a mission to serve all equally, but it’s time for a summit with the Two Spirit People here in our ancestral domains to help the funders achieve their mission. Two Spirit People have significant spiritual and ceremonial roles in our Native cultures, and gay philanthropy has a significant role to play in realizing a vision of philanthropic justice and social justice with our people.
