Feds Restore $6.2M In Grants For LGBTQ Nonprofits

Via press release from Lambda Legal:

Lambda Legal announced today that the federal government has restored more than $6.2 million in grant funding to nine organizations that offer vital health and support services for LGBTQ+ people, including those living with HIV.

The restored funding follows the ruling in early June from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granting a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of three of President Trump’s executive orders that threatened to defund these organizations. The court held in San Francisco AIDS Foundation v. Trump that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in showing that multiple provisions of two anti-DEI executive orders and an anti-transgender executive order are unconstitutional.

The legal win June 9 and the restored funding protect the nine nonprofit organizations across the country from having to shutter programs or silence their advocacy for fear of losing critical federal support while the case proceeds. The ruling ensures organizations such as San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Los Angeles and New York LGBTQ Centers can continue to operate, advocate, serve people, and save lives without further censorship or threats to their funding.
