Dialogue with Grantmakers
Global Philanthropy Project (GPP) is a collaboration of funders and philanthropic advisors working to expand global philanthropic support to advance the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people in the Global South and East.

This session invites several grant-makers who have been funding SOGIESC projects in Asia. 

Global Philanthropy Project events bring together key public and private grant makers, donor governments, high net worth individual donors, philanthropic thought leaders, and other partners within the LGBTI movement to develop strategies responding to current trends and opportunities. We aim to foster a shared understanding of the needs of the field, and identify and encourage opportunities for alignment, collaboration, and learning as donors.

Being LGBTI in Asia is a regional programme aimed at reducing inequality and marginalization on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). The programme is a collaboration with civil society, and engages national and regional institutions to advance protective laws and policies, and empower civil society. It supports policy and operational research, and strategy development among vulnerable groups and a range of key stakeholders at national and regional level. The programme recognizes that specific LGBTI populations, including lesbians, gay men, transgender men and women and intersex persons face varied and diverse experiences depending on their distinct gender identities and expressions, and social cultural context.

The programme is supported by UNDP, the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

 

View publications from The Asia and Pacific Transgender Network, including: Finding Our Place, Finding Our Voice’ mapping report (2015), the first attempt for the regional network to map out the transgender organizations in Asia and Pacific.
