Background
Building support from individual donors and values-aligned corporate supporters is an increasingly important part of ILGA World’s long-term sustainability and independence. As part of ILGA World’s 2025–2029 strategic plan, strengthening the organisation’s internal capacity and resilience depends not only on programme funding, but also on flexible income that can help sustain core functions, respond quickly to emerging needs, and support movement infrastructure over time.

ILGA World’s fundraising context is shaped by a rapidly changing global environment for LGBTIQ human rights. Government funding is increasingly influenced by political shifts and geopolitical priorities, while many philanthropic foundations are moving towards shorter grant cycles and more restrictive requirements. Corporate giving has also become more complex, with some companies reducing visible support for LGBTIQ rights in response to politicised backlash. These trends increase volatility for the movement and underline the importance of diversifying income and growing sources of support that are less dependent on public funding cycles.
