How it works

Champions of Love are experts who know their communities and have insights about how to lead and support change in their communities and beyond.

Our goal is to build lifelong partnerships with Champions of Love to help them have maximum impact on society.

Champion's organizations receive a minimum of three years of unrestricted support.  We anticipate that funding will increase as these partnerships develop over time.

Beyond the support we provide to their core work, Champions are also given a separate amount of funding each year that they advise on where to donate.  Champions can allocate these funds where they see fit and divide it in the way they think makes the most impact based on their accumulated knowledge, their deep work and their own lived experiences.  These funds are sent in their name.

Champions of Love work tirelessly on the frontlines in their communities. To ensure their focus can stay on the amazing work they do, we prefer to protect their privacy.
