Activism
We support the organizations that are advancing the next generation of activists. Those who will use their skill, power and platform to advance positive change. We leverage the power of philanthropy to support initiatives and organizations that are dedicated to promoting fairness, inclusion, and opportunity for underserved communities.
By investing in programs that address systemic barriers and promote social change, we aim to create a more equitable and just society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Advocacy work serves as the unifying force that brings everyone together, fostering solidarity and collective action towards a shared vision of a better tomorrow.

Athlete Ally‘s mission is to end homophobia and transphobia in sport and to activate the athletic community to exercise their leadership to champion LGBTQ equality.
BJKF supports Athlete Ally’s efforts to create inclusive LGBTQ athletic environments.
LPAC was founded in 2012 by a group of LGBTQ women seeking to increase representation for and with LGBTQ women and nonbinary candidates. LPAC’s focus is on electing LGBTQ women and nonbinary candidates who share the values of: LGBTQ and women’s equality, women’s health, and social justice. BJKF has provided grants to support the important research efforts of this organization, helping them coalesce LGBTQ women as a concrete and powerful political demographic.
