Transforming LGBTQ+ Health

Empowering Changemakers and Accelerating Change

LGBTQ+ people experience greater health risks due to stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and violence. Nevertheless, LGBTQ+ people are resilient in the face of adversity.

More than 7% of the U.S. and up to 25% of younger generations identify as LGBTQ+ but

fewer than 1%

of NIH funded projects focus on LGBTQ+ populations.

For every $100 awarded by U.S. foundations in 2020,

only 23 cents

specifically supported LGBTQ+ communities and issues.

Only 0.5% of $2.1 Trillion

in funding for startups went to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs.

These Numbers Don't Add Up.
That's Where We Come In.

Without joint partnerships and investments from academia, healthcare, industry, government, and community sectors, advancements to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals will lag and stagnate.
