2020 was an extraordinary year for all of us. The Covid-19 pandemic hit everyone hard across the world. Economies struggled as businesses remained closed and non-profits saw significant decreases in donations from a public that was unsure of their own financial outlook.
LGBTQIA+ grassroots organizations were particulary impacted by Covid-19, and our Foundation received many ad hoc requests for emergency funding outside of our typical funding rounds. Due to this extreme situation, we decided to postpone our regular funding cycles and focus instead on funding emergency requests.
Ultimately, our Foundation was able to support 28 of these requests in 18 countries for a total of € 67,421 in 2020.
