Philanthropic Advocacy

To ensure that lesbians have an articulate and well-informed advocate within all levels of the philanthropic community, Astraea maintains an active presence in a number of associations.

Astraea is a founding and current board member of Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues. We also serve on the board of the International Network of Women's Funds, National Network of Grantmakers, Grantmakers Without Borders, and The International Human Rights Funders Group. Astraea is a member of the Women's Funding Network and sits on its advisory committee for the Women Making History program.

Additionally, Astraea participates with organizations and grantee committees by developing and participating in workshops and plenaries on a wide range of issues including human rights, and fundraising.
