Stonewall Community Foundation

Grantmaking: as part of its fund partner program, Stonewall provides donors the opportunity to execute custom grantmaking and scholarship programs for the lgbtq Community through a variety of fund types, including donor-advised funds. Stonewall also grants operating and project support through its operating and other discretionary funds. In 2020, Stonewall expanded its microgrants program, which offers strategic financial assistance for individuals that is typically paid to non-profit service providers, to include covid-19 emergency relief grants paid via direct cash transfer.

Community learning - developing the competency and skills of corporate communities, nonprofit leaders, and members of the public to better support lgbtq movements and philanthropy, with a focus on topical convenings and tailored engagement that includes free workshops, coaching, and project consulting.

Giving circles: a specialized program for donors who collectively contribute to a fund to then distribute grants to qualifying organizations and programs. Donors make monthly or annual contributions and then participate in collective decision-making on outgoing grants (quarter share, kavod). Alternatively, collective funds are used for designated causes such as supporting lgbtq youth (dad fund).
