The Gill Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on supporting equal rights work for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities in the United States. Based in Denver, Colorado, the foundation operates within the philanthropic fundraising sector, aiming to create an America where all people are treated with equal respect.

The organization functions with a relatively small to mid-sized team and maintains a public-facing presence through its website, highlighting its history of grantmaking and partnerships with other cultural and advocacy entities. Recent developments include leadership changes and notable collaborations, such as a scheduled transition in chief executive leadership in 2025 and partnerships announced in 2021 that supported LGBTQ movements through joint campaigns with agencies and cultural centers. The foundation’s work sits at the intersection of philanthropy, advocacy, and social change, positioning it as a key funder within the LGBT rights sector while continuing to operate from its Denver base with national reach.
