  • Other Program Services:A) Fund Our Futures Campaign - GPP initiated the Fund Our Futures Campaign to call on philanthropy and donor governments to meet this political moment by deepening commitments to global LGBTI rights. The campaign, which closed on June 30 2025, secured $182 million in new funding pledges for global LGBTI movements from 64 grantmakers at a pivotal time for human rights and democracy worldwide.B) Trans and Intersex Funding Initiative - GPP members strategize and collaborate to develop new research and support collaborative funding efforts towards increasing the amount and influencing the type of funding dedicated to trans and intersex issues globally. In 2025, GPP launched the Mobilizing for Trans Futures: Trans-Inclusive Grantmaking Training.C) Research - GPP develops new research exploring and documenting opportunities, challenges, and trends in the field, including: The Global Resources Report - This biennial report provides detailed data on the distribution of LGBTI funding by geography, issue, strategy, population focus, and type of donor, offering a tool for identifying trends, gaps, and opportunities in the rapidly changing landscape of LGBTI funding. State of Trans and Intersex Organizing, 3rd Edition Surveys Launch 2023 - In October 2024, GPP published a third edition of these reports documenting and analyzing a survey of global trans and intersex groups organizing activities, priorities, and access to funding. Funding Cuts Impact Assessment - GPP is assessing the emerging impact of recent announcements of donor government funding cuts in the context of decreased funding for LGBTI movements expected from the philanthropic sector, and offering recommendations and guidance, and collaborative opportunities for member and partner organizations.D) Convenings and Webinars - GPP regularly organizes and hosts regional and global donor convenings to cultivate and deepen the knowledge, skills, and capacity of GPP members and other funders. GPP events center donor education, research sharing, networking, and dialogues related to issues impacting LGBTI communities.E) GPPs regional cafs - provide informal spaces for grantmakers with specific regional focus to share lessons, challenges, and trends, discuss resource and research needs, and share information about grantee partners when needed.GPP also hosts webinars to cultivate and deepen the knowledge, skills, and capacity of GPP members and other funders in support of global LGBTI issues.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
