Building
Pathways

LGBTI Pathways will transform the quality and quantity of resources to LGBTI people around the world. This multi-year global project will identify and catalyze opportunities to increase and improve funding for LGBTI communities worldwide.

Our
Goals

Goal 1

Increase the amount and quality of resources directed towards improving the lives of LGBTI persons across the world.

Goal 2

Develop credible, reliable and accurate evidence on the needs, priorities and funding landscape of the international and regional LGBTI movements.

Goal 3

Inform and influence grantmakers.

The
journey
there

LGBTI Pathways will undertake a comprehensive gap analysis on the state of global funding on LGBTI issues. It will do so through regional surveys of the LGBTI movement which will produce regional analyses of movement needs and priorities. A global meta-analysis will be the final outcome of the project.

Every stage of Pathways will be movement- and donor-led and informed. For example, the regional surveys and analyses will be led by regional organizations and advised by regional steering committees selected through an open process.

About
Pathways

Together, and for the first time ever, LGBTI activists, philanthropy and donor governments from all regions of the world will create and inform actionable data. Pathways will align the gaps between newly-documented funding trends and the self-defined needs of LGBTI communities.

The Global Steering Committee

The Global Steering Committee, composed equally of donors and activists, will advise and guide Pathways throughout the duration of the project.
