HRC Foundation
Through research, educational efforts and outreach, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation encourages lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to live their lives openly and seeks to change the hearts and minds of Americans to the side of equality.
The HRC Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Programs funded in part or in full through the HRC Foundation include:
The HRC Coming Out Project
The HRC Coming Out Project, which encourages LGBT and straight-supportive Americans to come out and live openly by providing resources that empower them to talk about their lives and advocate for LGBT equality.
The HRC Family Project
The HRC Family Project, which empowers members of the LGBT community to take action to protect their families, improves the practices within key institutions that serve LGBT families and promotes visibility of LGBT families.
The HRC Diversity Program
The Human Rights Campaign’s diversity mission has two important and related components. The first is to ensure that diversity is an intrinsic value of HRC’s organizational culture, not just a set of statistics or numbers. The second part of HRC’s diversity mission is to be one of the most successful organizations in the country at uniting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and straight supporters with people of all races and backgrounds to ensure equality for all.
The HRC Historically Black Colleges and Universities Outreach Program
The HRC Historically Black Colleges and Universities Outreach Program, which trains student activists to sustain dialogue, build viable student-led LGBT organizations and open campus-wide debate on the issues that affect the LGBT community, often for the first time.
The HRC Religion and Faith Program
The HRC Religion and Faith Program, which amplifies the voices of clergy who support LGBT equality while also equipping and empowering people of faith to talk about LGBT issues from a religious perspective.
The HRC Workplace Project
The HRC Workplace Project, which promotes equality in the workplace by advocating for policies that prohibit discrimination against LGBT workers, provide employees with equal benefits and diversity training and encourage appropriate marketing.
