Equality Federation is a non-profit advocacy organization focused on social justice, serving as an accelerator for state-based LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. It operates as a national network and strategic partner to more than 40 member organizations, helping them coordinate efforts and leverage collective knowledge. Collectively, the member network mobilizes over 2 million supporters across the United States to advance equality and justice. The federation traces its roots to 1997, when state-based groups joined forces, and it is based in Portland, Oregon.

Its target customers are the state-based LGBTQ+ advocacy groups seeking coordinated, scalable effort to influence state policy and public opinion. By providing networked collaboration and movement-building support, Equality Federation helps these groups address challenges in advancing LGBTQ+ rights at the state level. A notable recent development is the January 2024 release of the 2024 State Equality Index, produced in partnership with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which tracks state-level commitments to LGBTQ+ equality. Through these activities, the organization serves as a central, non-profit platform for building and sustaining the state-based LGBTQ+ movement.
