MAP is an independent think tank that conducts rigorous research, analysis, and insight to advance full equality for LGBTQ people. Founded in 2006, the organization focuses its work in three areas: policy, movement capacity, and effective messaging. Its research and analysis are intended to inform policy debates and public discourse, helping policymakers, allied organizations and funders, media, and the broader American public understand LGBTQ policy and movement issues. The group also supports LGBTQ advocacy groups and funders as part of its mission. MAP operates as a relatively small think tank within the policy and advocacy space. In May 2025, MAP released an Equality Profile for Utah, offering a comprehensive assessment of the state's LGBTQ-related policies and laws.
