This LGBTQ+ nonprofit just raised $285M to challenge legislative attacks on queer lives
Briefly

Lambda Legal has launched the "Unstoppable Future" initiative, raising $285 million, the largest fundraising campaign in LGBTQ+ history. This allows the organization to mount legal challenges against federal attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and create a sustainable financial future. CEO Kevin Jennings confirmed 95% of donations came from individuals, reflecting grassroots support. The campaign's success is illustrated by new records in donor contributions, indicating strong community backing at a critical time when LGBTQ+ rights are under threat.
"With this campaign, the LGBTQ+ community and our allies have said to our opponents: 'We will not go back.'"
"This campaign was driven - 95 percent of the gifts came from individuals."
"Before this campaign, Lambda Legal had received something like three seven-figure gifts in its entire history. And we have gotten 14 seven-figure gifts and three eight-figure gifts as a result of this campaign."
