ILGA-Europe;
ILGA-Europe continues our needs assessment work in partnership with Strength in Numbers to make a case to both better align and increase funding for the work of LGBTI organisations in Europe and Central Asia.The first funding needs assessment was done in 2017 with the intention to shine a light on the activities undertaken by LGBTI organisations, particularly those that are underfunded compared to the importance that organisations give to them. The 2021 needs assessment continues this work, with additional intentions to detect changes in the funding landscape, as well as collect additional data about the lived realities of LGBTI activists and organisations operating in the context of COVID-19, and in many countries, anti-LGBTI and/or anti-gender rhetoric, threats and attacks. Ultimately, ILGA-Europe monitors the funding landscape with an eye to moving towards sustainability for LGBTI organisations, ensuring LGBTI people on the ground can access the services they need and are free from discrimination.Where sufficient data are available, it highlights disparities between regions, so donors and activists can be aware of gaps in resources identified by LGBTI activists. ILGA-Europe would like to see the report used as a tool to continue conversations between donors and movements to increase the funding available and align the priorities of donors with the needs and opportunities experienced by LGBTI movements. The report is also intended to reach LGBTI organisations, including ILGA-Europe members, with a view to enhancing our collective understanding of how funding can support the work of our movements.

This final report in the series, LGBT Well-Being at the Intersection of Race, uses data from the 2012-2017 Gallup Survey and the Generations/Transpop studies to assess whether LGBT people of color (POC) differ from White LGBT people on several areas of health and socioeconomic well-being. We find that more LGBT people of color report economic instability compared to White LGBT people on many indicators. Additionally, disparities for POC LGBT adults persist in the health domain, except for measures of depression where more White LGBT adults report having depression compared with POC LGBT adults. Further, more women of color who identify as LGBT reported living in a low-income household, and experiencing unemployment and food insecurity compared to all other groups. We also found differences in outcomes among LGBT POC on some economic and health indicators. Overall, the series of papers demonstrate that the relationship between race and LGBT status is a complicated one that differs by outcome and racialized group. Regardless of these complexities, the data point to the need for social and policy interventions that address economic and health disparities along racial, gender and LGBT statuses, separately and at their intersection.

Funders for LGBTQ Issues;
The 2019-2020 Resource Tracking Report: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Grantmaking by U.S. Foundations (2022) explores the scope and character of U.S. foundation funding for LGBTQ communities and issues in calendar years 2019-2020. This 18th edition of the tracking report represents the next iteration of work from Funders for LGBTQ Issues in our ongoing effort to document the scale of philanthropic support for LGBTQ communities and issues.The report finds that foundation funding for LGBTQ communities and issues has fallen since its record high in 2018, totaling $193 million in 2019 and $201 million in 2020. This is concerning, as it comes at a time when, according to Giving USA, overall foundation support has soared. For every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations in 2020, only 23 cents specifically supported LGBTQ communities and issues.

Community Leadership, Education, and Research (CLEAR) Institute;
To date, very little research has been conducted on LGBTQ+ nonprofits (Meyer, Dale, & Willis, 2021; Surfus, 2013) and how they function. For example, in a recent study of academic literature, Meyer et al. (2021) discovered only 40 academic articles published within the last 46 years on various LGBTQ+ issues and how they intersect withnonprofits. Just over 25% of these articles were published in the last five years. Furthermore, before 2000, most articles only focused on HIV/AIDS. Therefore, many unknowns exist regarding LGBTQ+ nonprofits and how they function as entities.As a certified LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE®) through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Supplier Diversity Initiative, IPM Advancement has a passion and history of working with LGBTQ+ nonprofits. With 2-5% of the general population of every state identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, we felt there was a need to better understand how these organizations operate and identify issues that would be helpful to share with these organizations, LGBTQ+ donors, policymakers, and other stakeholders concerned with the quality of life for members of the LBGTQ community.The report is designed to better understand the number of nonprofit organizations that are working on LGBTQ+ and equality issues nationwide, and where those organizations have impact. The report offers unique insights into organization growth, trends, concerns and the outlook for LGBTQ+ nonprofits related to philanthropic giving. Of particular interest is how engagement with LGBTQ+ nonprofits has changed since the 2015 marriage equality ruling.

Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice;
s we grapple with the impacts of rising anti-rights movements, Astraea has needed to pivot to meet the needs of the moment both internally and externally. We asked ourselves: How do we meet the needs of grantees who are struggling to remain open and grappling with the various impacts of the pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted communities of color, particularly those in the Global South? What does it look like to create spaciousness and center staff wellness and sustainability so that we can support our movements for the long-term?Astraea's grantee partners – the LBTQI organizers on the frontlines – are often facing the brunt of violence in our communities; yet they are the ones charting the path towards our collective liberation. With your support during this critical moment, we are continuing to resource our grantee partners through no-strings-attached multi-year flexible grantmaking. It is more urgent than ever that we create alternative flows of resources and this is where Astraea is creating pathways of mobilizing and redistributing resources, with the goal of redistributing power to those who use it for social change.Living under the cloud of multiple pandemics has also given us the opportunity to refine our purpose and recommit to our mandate to disrupt, to transform, and to queer philanthropy. Through building deep relationships with our grantees, our peers, and our donors, we're working together to create stronger ecosystems to walk alongside our movements and understand what they need to remain resilient, fight back against exclusion and repression, and care for themselves and each other.

RAND Corporation;
In this report, drawing on the spring 2022 American Instructional Resources Survey, the authors examine teachers' awareness of and responses to limitations on how they can address race- or gender-related topics in their instruction. Teachers experienced limitations that infringed on their instructional autonomy, which included their choice of curriculum materials and topics for classroom discussion. These limitations originated from a variety of sources, including state, school, and district leaders and family and community members, and encompassed a wide span of topics, including, but not limited to race- or gender-related topics. The multifaceted nature of these limitations highlights how teachers exist in an increasingly complex policy environment in which they must consider and weigh not only their own perspectives but also the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, along with numerous messages and directives from a variety of sources about what and how to teach. In this complex environment, the authors found that teachers' responses to restrictions on their classroom instruction ranged broadly from compliance with to resistance against these restrictions; teachers also engaged in numerous strategies to navigate the existence of these restrictions. Moreover, limitations placed on how teachers can address contentious topics may be leading to consequences for teachers' working conditions and for student learning. Teachers perceived that teaching students under these limitations has become more difficult and that these limitations make it more difficult to engage students in learning, support students' critical thinking skills, and develop students' ability to engage in perspective taking and empathy building.

Legal gender recognition procedures reduce systemic marginalisation, discrimination and violence of trans people. States in Europe are required to provide for it and have quick, accessible, transparent procedures in place, that are based on self-determination and that are free from physical abuse.The fact that only few trans people make use of gender recognition procedures hints towards problems. "Around three in four trans individuals (78%) living in the EU have not changed their legal gender." This is mostly related to gender recognition procedures being arbitrary, inaccessible, featuring abusive requirements, and only offering the choice between 'male' and 'female' gender markers. Besides non-binary people, minors and migrants (non-citizens) are too often not able to access gender recognition procedures. Also, most self-determination models are still excluding these groups. Future reforms will hopefully make them accessible for anyone who needs them, irrespective of their gender identity, age, or migration status.This publication investigates practical experiences of self-determination models in Europe, looking into frequently asked questions on statistics of usage, problems with implementation, wider negative and positive implications as well as specific aspects relating to non-binary people, minors, and migrants.

TGEU;
This report intends to shed light on the difficult situations trans parents find themselves in, which often go unnoticed. By sharing their stories TGEU wants to enhance the voices of real trans people. Misinformation about trans people is increasingly spread and impacts vulnerable groups in particular, such as trans people caring for children.This report is also aimed at supporting the European Commission, the Council of Europe, and governments in Europe and Central Asia in their understanding of trans parenthood and the hurdles trans parents (to be) face across the two regions. TGEU believes that the testimonies shared in this report can also contribute to the work of the Commission and EU Member States, in their efforts to implement the EU LGBTIQ Equality Strategy, including for instance in the area of legal gender recognition (LGR). They can also be helpful for other states that are in the process of LGR, reproductive rights, or family law reform.This report complements TGEU's first report on trans parenthood, Stuck on the Swing, by discussing a variety of obstacles faced by trans parents in their daily lives that go beyond issues relating to freedom of movement.
