Significant philanthropy and partnerships can do more than fund today’s services and create a safer tomorrow for LGBT+ people. It can give Galop the confidence and flexibility to respond to emerging needs, strengthen specialist support and plan for a future in which LGBT+ victims and survivors are never left without somewhere to turn.

We work with individuals, organisations, trusts and foundations who share our ambition for a safer, fairer future for LGBT+ people. Strategic, flexible funding gives Galop the confidence to respond to rising need, protect specialist services and invest in long-term change.

Why philanthropy matters now

Galop’s specialised services focus on LGBT+ equality and providing support to victims and survivors of abuse and violence. This expertise is essential, yet funding opportunities are often uncertain, limiting how resources are allocated.

Flexible philanthropic funding allows Galop to respond effectively to the greatest needs. It can support direct service delivery, enhance organisational resilience, promote innovation and research, and reach individuals whose experiences are frequently neglected.
