and second 7 www.astraeafoundation.org ASTRAEA AT 30 Today, Astraea is the world’s only foundation solely dedicated to funding LGBTI organizations in both the U.S. and internationally. Astraea began in 1977 when a small group of women created a multi-racial, multi-class, feminist foundation in order to address the lack of funding for women—specifically lesbians and women of color. They believed that even the smallest of gestures, when combined, could create, nurture and strengthen significant social change. And they were right.
