HRC Foundation
Through research, educational efforts and outreach, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation encourages gay, lesbian, 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, which encourages GLBT and straight-supportive Americans to come out and live openly by providing resources that empower them to talk about their lives and advocate for GLBT equality.
- The HRC Family Project, which empowers members of the GLBT community to take action to protect their families, improves the practices within key institutions that serve GLBT families and promotes visibility of GLBT families.
- The HRC Historically Black Colleges and Universities Outreach Program, which trains student activists to sustain dialogue, build viable student-led GLBT organizations and open campus-wide debate on the issues that affect the GLBT community, often for the first time.
- The HRC Religion and Faith Program, which amplifies the voices of clergy who support GLBT equality while also equipping and empowering people of faith to talk about GLBT issues from a religious perspective.
- The HRC Research Center, which serves as a comprehensive and authoritative source of research on GLBT issues for members of the media, lawmakers, pro-equality advocates and other thought leaders.
- The HRC Workplace Project, which promotes equality in the workplace by advocating for policies that prohibit discrimination against GLBT workers, provide employees with equal benefits and diversity training and encourage appropriate marketing.
