LOF Partners with P&G to Invest in LGBTQ+ People
The Looking Out Foundation is proud to partner with Procter and Gamble (P&G) as part of our sustained efforts to create a world where equality and inclusion are achievable for all—including the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we are committed to providing access and opportunity for LGBTQ+ people in the communities where they work and live.
Together we’re investing $1.1 million in 2025 to support LGBTQ+ organizations focused on a wide spectrum of issues critical to the LGBTQ+ community. This platform goes beyond raising awareness — it delivers sustained resources, both visibility and funding, to the organizations on the ground driving real change.
The recipients of this year’s grants include:
Each organization plays a critical role in advancing P&G and Looking Out Foundation’s shared commitment to fostering equity, inclusion, and well-being for LGBTQ+ individuals, and together they form a trusted ecosystem of expertise, reach, and influence.
