We’re excited to launch an interactive companion to our latest tracking report!
Our new data explorer summarizes key findings from the 2022 Resource Tracking Report: LGBTQ Grantmaking by U.S. Foundations and allows for further exploration of the findings through interactive charts and graphs. The Resource Tracking Data Explorer also includes new analyses that are not included in the 2022 report itself, including COVID-19 funding over time and funding for transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary communities and causes by U.S. state.
