The Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice is thrilled to release our Annual Report for our 2022 fiscal year. Entitled 45 Years of Joy in Resistance, our 2022 Annual Report celebrates the Astraea Foundation’s 45th anniversary with stories of our grantee partners, photography from our archives, and showcases the impact of donations from supporters like you.
Over the last 45 years, Astraea’s staff and partners have witnessed ups and downs, celebrations and disagreements, and both joy and struggle. Many of these memories weren’t captured on film, but they’ve added up to help build resilient, intersectional movements in feminist philanthropy. Astraea continues to ground our philanthropy model on supporting grantees with unrestricted and flexible resources, which allow movements to build capacity and strengthen their resiliency when responding to community needs, especially as the rise of populist anti-gender movements continue to threaten LGBTQI+ lives around the world.
We are proud to share that in 2022:
- Asraea disbursed more than $5.9 million in 2022 to 230 grantee partners through 263 grants
- Over 86% of our grantees received general operating support grants, allowing for flexibility
- 83% of our international grantmaking went to organizations in countries with obstructed, repressed, and closing civil societies
We hope you will enjoy learning more about our approach to this work in our annual report. Sincere gratitude to all of our supporters, donors, allies, and staff members, without whom this work would not be possible.
