同志友情基金一览表

(作者或来源) Daniel Lee daniel@iglhrc.orgDear friends on AP-Rainbow,

Warm greetings from the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission! It's been great to track the conversations on this group over the past few months, and I look forward to participating more actively on the list.

This is the first of a number of messages I hope to post regarding one of the most challenging issues for many groups around the region--funding. Some of you who attended the 5th ICAAP may already have a copy of this list of international funding sources for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered-related projects and organizations, but hopefully others can benefit from posting it here.

A few follow-up messages will focus on specific foundations on this list. If you have any questions about the funding process or any foundations on this list, please don't hesitate to contact me at daniel@iglhrc.org.

All the best,
Daniel Lee, Asia/Pacific Regional Program
