I am so inspired and grateful to have attended this summit. As someone new to philanthropy, grounding in the wisdom and expertise of the Global South and the radical possibility of this incredible pledge at this time has been a balm for the grief of the last week. I’m leaving more equipped with strategies to move through coming years. Thank you to the Global Philanthropy Project team and M. Saida Agostini Bostic for thinking of Groundswell Fund. Looking forward to surpassing this next goal by June.

In a time of grief and despair, I am beyond proud and grateful to have worked with Matthew Hart and the incredible Global Philanthropy Project team to lead and launch the #FundOurFutures campaign. Yesterday at the first-ever Global LGBTI Funding Summit in Cape Town, just before the ILGA World conference, we launched the campaign with US $100 million in new funding secured for global LGBTI movements by 28 grantmaking institutions. We now work to reach $150 million by June 2025. At a time when LGBTI communities are under attack across the world and on the frontlines of struggles for human rights and democracy, several long-term donors are likely going to scale back or exit their funding. #FundOurFutures is our collective response, calling in new money to meet this moment.
