Strengthening the LGBTQ+ Movement: Introducing The Independent Revenue Generation Capacity-Building Cohort

More than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ pieces of state legislation were introduced across the country this year.  And on the final day of Pride, SCOTUS gouged the civil rights protections of members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is unprecedented and dangerous and a deafening call to action for all of us who are in a position to support building LGBTQ+ power. One of the key elements of building power is organizing independent money -- and right now, that is what LGBTQ+ groups need to do so they can scale to meet this moment. 

With anchor funding from the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, we are launching Progressive Multiplier’s first dedicated LGBTQ+ program to support their alumni's independent revenue generation. Our work with these inaugural 17 groups is the next best step for Progressive Multiplier to take in today's fight for LGBTQ+ equality.

Please meet the groups that make up our inaugural class, their projects, and our technical assistance partner, Queeri Data and Analytics!

To fully support grants and strategic assistance for the six groups that are part of the Strategic & Technical Assistance Cohort, we are seeking an additional $250K in investment by January 2024.  If you want to partner with Progressive Multiplier, please contact me at bethany@progressivemultipier.fund.
