A global network dedicated to building the capacity of LGBTIQ+ initiatives.
The LGBTIQ+ gap
98% of initiatives fighting for LGBTIQ+ rights, safety, and wellbeing report not having adequate resources, skills, or knowledge to meet their goals. This impacts their ability to improve the lives of LGBTIQ+ people—whether this is grass roots organisations fighting for equality or large organisations looking to better support their LGBTIQ+ staff.
123+ helps LGBTIQ+ initiatives achieve their goals.
We do this by providing one-on-one support through a global network of experts and by curating a range of free, capacity-building tools.
We're helping to create world that is just, safe, and equitable for LGBTIQ+ communities.
Capacity building
Capacity building can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. To make it simple, below are the skill areas that 123+ support LGBTIQ+ initiatives with:
Impact and evaluation
Business and financials
User and ecosystem
Technology and logistics
Branding and communications
People and culture
Please note: 123+ does not provide funding. However, we have aggregated a range of LGBTIQ+ funding and opportunities offered by others here.

The 123+ network of experts
Bespoke strategic support
Through our global partners network, we work directly with you, your initiative, or your organisation to develop a strategy across any of the above capacity areas.
We're in the process of building out the network to ensure that not only do we have global experts, but experts in every corner of the globe to ensure you can work with people who understand the unique considerations of your part of the world.
Depending on the size and revenue of your initiative we provide either commercial, discounted, or pro bono strategic support.

Curated Tools
Even with a global network of partners we know we'll never be able to work directly with every organisation or initiative around the world.
Therefore, we're compiling (what will be) a huge database of tools, knowledge, and resources developed by global experts for you to use. Each tool is simply explained and includes worksheets—so you can get started right away!
Oh, our tools and resources are always free and open-source.
