What Lgbtq Fund of Vermont Incorporated does
Mission
The LGBTQ Fund of Vermont promotes the substantive, valuable contributions LBGTQ donors make to the broader community. The Fund makes charitable gifts to other not-for-profit organizations as designated by its donors. Our objective is to reduce homophobia by drawing attention to the engagement of LGBTQ Vermonters in the broader community and their positive impact on the lives of all Vermonters.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $11k to $175k (+1478%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
