• Scholarship Request Form | Funding Forward 2027

    We aim to send initial notifications by November 19, 2026 · Rolling review and notification thereafter

  • Funders for LGBTQ Issues is a social justice organization committed to making Funding Forward accessible to all eligible and interested parties regardless of their economic means.

    To support this, we have set aside a limited portion of our budget to help make participation more accessible. If financial assistance with lodging, the conference registration fee, or travel would help you attend Funding Forward, please complete our Scholarship Request Form below. We aim to send a first round of notifications by November 19, 2026, and will review additional requests on a rolling basis.

    Please note that due to anticipated demand, we will not be able to fund every request in full.
