Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Institute

The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund works to ensure a more democratic society—one where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) citizens have a bold voice in our government and where public policies reflect our values of justice and equality for all Americans. The Victory Fund fulfills this mission every year by identifying, training and financially supporting qualified openly gay and lesbian candidates and public officials at all levels of our government.

The Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute works toward a future that embraces lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender citizens as full and valued participants in all aspects of public life. To help make this goal a reality, the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute offers a variety of professional development and networking programs and opportunities for LGBT leaders and officials.
