Visibility Impact Fund Announces 2026 Grant Cycle Grantees
Four organizations advancing bisexual+ visibility and community receive $2,000 grants
The Visibility Impact Fund is proud to announce its 2026 Grant Cycle grantees, awarding $2,000 each to four organizations working to strengthen bisexual+ communities through visibility, education, connection, accessibility, and advocacy.
-
Bi Women Quarterly (BWQ), a U.S.-based global grassroots publication that has supported bi+ communities continuously since 1982, will use its grant to provide stipends for its two assistant editors and support outreach efforts. Through its free publication, social media, and monthly digital brunches, BWQ creates opportunities for connection and visibility for bi+ people around the world while advancing social justice, equity, and fair compensation.
-
Bi+ Georgia will direct its grant toward organizational overhead, educational programming, ASL interpretation, and collaborations with BIPOC organizations and small businesses. This support will reduce the need for constant fundraising and allow the organization to focus more fully on creating meaningful opportunities for connection, education, support, and intersectional advocacy for bisexual+ people throughout the Southeast.
-
Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) will use its grant to continue offering free and low-cost virtual and in-person events for the bi+ community in Boston and beyond, while also creating and distributing educational resources such as brochures, zines, and handouts. Shared with colleges, LGBTQIA+ centers, health clinics, Pride events, and other community spaces, these materials help expand understanding and visibility for bi+ people.
-
Queer Trans Project (QTP) will use its grant to launch a 12-week national digital education campaign beginning during Bi+ Awareness Week and concluding on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day. Designed primarily for bi+ trans and nonbinary people, the campaign will explore identity diversity, self-care, healthy relationships, disclosure, boundaries, and common myths that contribute to biphobia and erasure. The campaign will reach QTP’s national audience of more than 156,300 social media followers and 30,000 subscribers through short-form lessons, visuals, written resources, and email education.
“We are proud to invest in organizations that are building stronger, more visible, and more connected bi+ communities,” said Ellyn Ruthstrom, Project Director of the Visibility Impact Fund. “These grants support people doing essential work every day to challenge erasure, expand access to resources, and ensure that bi+ people are seen, valued, and supported.”
The Visibility Impact Fund congratulates the 2026 grantees and is honored to support their continued work to create greater visibility, connection, and opportunity for bisexual+ communities.
About our grants
Eligibility:
We welcome proposals from any Bi+ specific, LGBTQ+, or non-LGBTQ+ nonprofit organization that can demonstrate how they plan to positively impact the lives of bisexual+ people.
What we fund:
General operations.
-
Without support from LGBTQ+ philanthrophy, we know it is difficult to be a sustainable, all-volunteer bi+ organization. Funding general operations will help organizations hire paid staff, host events, implement training, and organize our community to advocate on their own behalf.
Training and education.
-
One of the reasons we are so invisible, in LGBTQ+ work particularly, is the lack of knowledge about the disparities bi+ people face and about the diversity of human sexuality. If you or your organization needs funding to start, maintain, or expand the reach of training or education, please consider applying.
Projects and programs.
-
Any project or program ideas are welcome, including new projects and revising an existing program to increase bi+ inclusion and visibility.
