What We Do

 For 16 years, the Gill Foundation has been an advocate for LGBT equality. Today more than ever, we are committed to securing equal opportunity for all Americans, including sexual orientation and gender expression.

We go about this work in a variety of ways. Over the years, we have invested $106 million in hundreds of high-impact nonprofits that share our commitment to equality. But we’re more than grantmakers. We’re sometimes leaders and always collaborators.  We believe that you can never have too many allies and too few enemies. We share well with others and believe that knowledge should not be treated as a commodity. We introduce people to one another. We convene parties to learn from one another. We enlist, educate and motivate. We’re responsible and thoughtful.

Our work breaks neatly into three primary areas. We advocate for equality by partnering with LGBT nonprofits – both state and national organizations – that work every day to bring about equality. We build a better Colorado by partnering with hundreds of organizations that share our commitment to improving the quality of life for people across the state. We engage donors when we educate and energize them about the wide variety of LGBT nonprofits that further equality through their hard work every day.
