The Advocate, the nation's leading LGBTQ+ magazine, needs your help to expand its fearless, original, award-winning reporting.

The Advocate Journalism Project launched a $2,000,000 fundraising campaign for 2026.

Donations to The Advocate Journalism Project are tax-deductible

Help us sustain our print magazine, keep subscription costs low, maintain free access to online content without a paywall, and increase our reporting on critical LGBTQ+ issues.

  • Support community queer journalism, multimedia projects, and social media efforts crucial to impactful storytelling.
  • Fund full-time editors, journalists, and expand our network of freelance reporters, photographers, videographers, video editors, and producers nationwide.
  • Pay for special investigations, video series, and podcasts.
  • Expand our Washington, D.C. bureau team to produce more reports to help readers navigate changing policies, laws, and developing issues that could affect their safety.
  • Create fellowships and internships to train future journalists in this specialty area of reporting.
  • Protect The Advocate's nearly 60-year print magazine archive, which documents the queer civil rights movement and preserves the community's history.

Be a part of history — make our reporting stronger, louder, and prouder to ensure our community's stories are told accurately
