Global Philanthropy Project 2021 Year in Review
Dear Colleagues,
In 2021 we shared another year defined by the global health, environmental, and political crises that reinforced our awareness that we are truly all connected, and that our actions impact each other across borders and oceans. As global LGBTI movements continued their mobilizations to meet humanitarian needs while simultaneously organizing for systemic change, globally-focused LGBTI philanthropy has never been more necessary. At the same time, we and our colleagues and partners around the world have experienced the reverberations of this ongoing crisis in our own lives and homes.
In this context, GPP stayed focused on ways to mobilize and leverage increased and improved funding for LGBTI communities in the global south and east. We adapted and retooled to be more flexible and reached across silos and practices. Our programming, website, and other work were shared by thousands of grantmakers, policymakers, civil society leaders, and government representatives worldwide. We grew our impact, secured new resources for our communities, and found joy in the work with each of you.?[Read more https://globalphilanthropyproject.org/2022/01/10/2021-in-review/ ]
Please consider this a personal invitation to join GPP in our work together in 2022.

2021 Highlights
Events
Shimmering SolidarityIn March-June 2021, GPP and co-sponsoring partners held the?Shimmering Solidarity: Global Rights Summit, a virtual series?focused on grantmaker responses to the “anti-gender” movement and related global anti-rights agendas. The summit included over 50 sessions, with over 380 attendees, and served as an opportunity for grantmakers, philanthropic networks, and aligned colleagues to build shared analysis around anti-rights attacks and strategize towards multi-sectoral progressive philanthropic responses.

Upcoming Events
Prior to the pandemic, a large part of GPP’s work was organizing donor-only one-day meetings alongside regionally focused civil society events. We are starting to plan and imagine holding in-person or hybrid meetings while monitoring the health situation.?If you are a grantmaker,?please fill out this poll to let us know if you are planning on attending one of these convenings and if you are interested in a DPC.

Research
GPP?produced?a series of?“Diving Deeper”?briefs to explore a number of new analyses using the 2017-2018?Global Resources Report?dataset. These briefs focus on: global LBQTI funding, the role of intermediaries and government embassies in global LGBTI funding, and funding for LGBTI sex workers. This series further illuminates the importance of the?Global Resources Report?data in ongoing strategy and advocacy towards impactful resourcing of LGBTI human rights advancement and inclusive development. The “Diving Deeper” briefs are developed to serve as tools for LGBTI movements, funders, and policy makers.

The?2019-2020 Global Resources Report?will be released in June 2022!?
This new report from GPP and Elevate Children Funders Group explores how gender-restrictive groups are using child protection rhetoric to manufacture moral panic and mobilize against human rights, and how this strengthens the illiberal politics currently undermining democracies. The report’s comparative analysis of three country case studies (Bulgaria, Ghana, and Perú) underscores recurring strategies, narratives, and actors and gives insight into how gender-restrictive groups collaborate and engage in coalitional work across the globe. The report includes important findings and recommendations for funders.
