Report: 90 Percent of LGBTQ+ Groups Worldwide Have Lost Funding
Nine out of ten LGBTQ+ organizations around the world have lost funding since 2025. The Trump-Vance administration cut US financial support after taking office.
A new report shows a major funding crisis for LGBTQ+ organizations. Around the world, 90 percent of LGBTQ+ groups have lost money since 2025. This is a very serious problem for the community.
The main reason is a decision by the Trump-Vance administration. After taking office, they cut US financial support. This support used to help many LGBTQ+ groups in different countries.
The United States was one of the biggest funders of LGBTQ+ rights organizations globally. Many groups depended on this money to survive. They used it to run programs and support LGBTQ+ people in need.
Now, without this funding, many organizations are struggling. Some have already closed their doors. Others have had to reduce their services. This leaves many LGBTQ+ people without important support and resources.
The impact is felt strongly in countries where LGBTQ+ rights are already under threat. In these places, local governments do not protect LGBTQ+ people. International funding was often the only help available.
Human rights advocates are very concerned. They say this funding cut puts lives at risk. LGBTQ+ people in unsafe countries now have fewer places to turn to for help.
Activists are calling on other governments and private donors to fill the gap. They say the European Union and other wealthy nations must step up. No government should let LGBTQ+ organizations fail due to political decisions elsewhere.
Some organizations are trying to find new ways to raise money. They are turning to crowdfunding and private donations. But this is not enough to replace the large amounts of government funding that were lost.
The Washington Blade, which reported this story, is one of the leading LGBTQ+ news outlets in the United States. They highlight that this funding crisis did not happen by accident. It is the result of a clear political choice by the current US administration.
The full effects of these cuts are still becoming clear. But one thing is certain: the global LGBTQ+ rights movement is facing one of its biggest financial challenges in recent history.
