Human Rights Campaign Foundation

The HRC Foundation – a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization – envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ people can participate fully in the systems that shape our daily lives. Through public education, research, and policy and practice change, the Foundation’s impact can be felt in schools, on factory floors and corporate suites, and in hospitals and long-term care settings. The foundation’s twelve different programs work in the following ways to effect change: Building understanding of LGBTQ+ people and shaping the public debate through public education, research and resources; Changing policies and practices through technical assistance and pioneering benchmarking tools; Empowering strategic partners, community leaders and allies to be stronger advocates for equality through capacity-building, training and innovative tools; and Leveraging relationships with these partners, advocates and allies to advance LGBTQ+ policy objectives at the local, state, national and international levels. The HRC Foundation's Health & Aging Program provides resources and training to help thousands of healthcare facilities and long-term care communities adopt inclusive policies and practices to better serve their LGBTQ+ patients, residents and employees.
