What it says it does

LGBTQ Freedom Fund pays bail to secure the safety and liberty of individuals in immigration facilities in every U.S. state and pretrial detention in Florida. We also work to build a critical mass against the mass detention of LGBTQ+ people - a tangle of discrimination and poverty fuels disproportionate rates of incarceration.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $181,483 spent. Immigration Bond Program:With widespread discrimination around the world, U.S. immigration detention is unduly felt by LGBTQ+ people. To address this, LGBTQ Freedom Fund paid bond in 2024 for migrants in 11 states including Alabama and Washington State with a focus on LGBTQ+ people, to secure their safety and freedom from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention. Paying bond preempts victimization in custody and improves case outcomes -- those free are more likely to get counsel and those with representation are more likely to win their immigration cases.
  2. $10,235 spent. Pretrial Bond Program:LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately incarcerated and harmed by the criminal legal system. In turn, LGBTQ Freedom Fund paid bail in 2024 to secure the safety and liberty of individuals in pretrial detention in Florida, with a focus on LGBTQ+ people. Detained, even for a day, an individual is at risk of violence and losing employment, custody of children, and housing. While those with means are released from detention, those in poverty face only injurious choices: languish at risk or accept a guilty plea to get out of jail.
