Supporting LGBTQ Movements and Leaders Around the World

In the final quarter of 2021, Arcus’ Social Justice Program awarded grants to organizations working to advance rights, promote social justice, and create more inclusive societies for LGBTQ people around the world. Our grantees’ work spans community organizing, movement building, policy advocacy, public education, and other approaches to creating safe, inclusive communities and societies.

Protecting Great Apes and Gibbons through Health Research, Community Partnerships, Sanctuary Care

The latest grants in Arcus’ Great Apes & Gibbons Program go to longstanding and new partners implementing an array of approaches to conservation. From wildlife monitoring to public health, challenging exploitation to providing sanctuary, these organizations are working on many different fronts to protect the world’s great apes and gibbons.

How We Listen and Learn: Gathering and Responding to Grantee Feedback

As a foundation working in deep collaboration with grantee partners around the world, we at Arcus are acutely aware that the way we work with partners as well as how we are perceived by them is important to track, evaluate, and, when beneficial, improve. This helps us understand our level of impact and our alignment with our standards and values.

Funding Ape Conservation with Social Justice in Mind

Conservation of endangered apes and their forest habitats cannot be achieved without careful consideration of the Indigenous Peoples and local communities who also live in and depend on these landscapes. While much progress remains to be made, our partners supported by grants awarded during the third quarter of 2021 are working to increase community involvement in conservation decision-making while continuing to implement critical protection and monitoring efforts.

Advancing LGBTQ Equality and Social Justice Globally

Grantee partners awarded funding during the third quarter of 2021 in Arcus’ Social Justice Program are building a world where LGBTQ people can live with dignity, safety, and opportunity. Across the southern United States, and countries within East and Southern Africa, the Caribbean, South and Central America, and Mexico, these organizations are shaping strategies based on the needs of local communities while strengthening national, regional, and international movements.

Supporting Community Visions of Safety and Justice for LGBTQ People

The latest grants in Arcus’ Social Justice Program focus on community initiatives to document and address violence and discrimination, protect and empower the most vulnerable, increase safety and inclusion, and organize and advocate for LGBTQ people and communities around the world. Resourcing community self-determination UHAI EASHRI and Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice received multi-year funding to support groups strengthening LGBTQ safety, security, and community in East Africa and the Caribbean, respectively.
