ABOUT ASTRAEA

Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice is the only philanthropic organization focused exclusively on advancing LGBTQI human rights in the U.S. and around the globe.

We are a multi-gendered, multi-racial, multi-identity organization that grew from a lesbian feminist vision, and are deeply committed to securing rights for all and upholding strong values such as self-determination, community empowerment, movement building, and connection across issues and generations.

Our 40-Year History

In 1977, a small group of indomitable women gathered around a kitchen table in New York City and said, “if there’s going to be a women’s movement that prioritizes the needs of lesbians and women of color, we’re going to have to fund it ourselves.” And that’s what they did.

I love Astraea and I'm proud to be a part of it. I believe it's in excellent hands and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes for its next 40 years.
