Lambda Legal, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ rights, exceeded fundraising goal by $105M
June 5, 2025
The legal aid group Lambda Legal has raised $285 million at a time when attacks on the rights of gay, intersex and transgender people have again intensified. The nonprofit, which advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, said Thursday that they exceeded their original fundraising goal by $105 million. CEO Kevin Jennings said the group launched the campaign quietly in 2022 in response to a wave of bills in state legislatures that targeted gay, trans and intersex communities. They plan to spend $80 million in the next five years, in part to hire more attorneys.
