The Gill Foundation

About The Gill Foundation

Founded in 1994 by software entrepreneur Tim Gill, the Gill Foundation represents a deep commitment to the principle that all people deserve equal treatment regardless of who they are or whom they love. Based in Denver, Colorado, the foundation has spent three decades building a movement for LGBTQ equality across America, while maintaining special dedication to improving opportunities for all Coloradans. The foundation believes that transformative change requires more than government action—it demands passionate philanthropy, bold risk-taking, and collaborative partnerships with other donors and organizations. At its core, the Gill Foundation serves as a catalyst and agenda-setter, working alongside nonprofit partners to remove barriers to economic opportunity and create communities where everyone can thrive and live openly without discrimination. The foundation's team consists of mission-focused individuals committed to advancing equality for LGBTQ Americans while strengthening their home state of Colorado. Through both direct grantmaking and the OutGiving network, the Gill Foundation engages donors as partners in the movement, believing that informed and committed philanthropists are essential to achieving full equality. The foundation's watershed victories over its 30-year history demonstrate the power of strategic philanthropy combined with community partnership, positioning it as a trusted leader in the ongoing pursuit of justice and equal opportunity for all Americans.
