annual 2016report Dear Friends, This time last year, I wrote to you about the victories we’d cultivated and the activists who were rising up against white supremacy and misogyny by taking to the streets to demand accountability and change.

I remember hearing about Astraea funding some work in San Francisco and someone told me, ‘Go ahead and apply ‘cause you may have a chance.’ And I did. When I got that response, I felt like I hit the lottery. For the first time, my work was validated.” - Ruby Corado, founder of Astraea grantee partner Casa Ruby Because we support grassroots movements, Astraea remains at the forefront of LGBTQI human rights. We follow the leadership of new and emerging activist groups that develop vibrant community-led strategies. The movements we support are creative, visionary, strategic and interconnected.
