The GLBT Historical Society collects, preserves, exhibits and makes accessible to the public materials and knowledge to support and promote understanding of LGBTQ history, culture and arts in all their diversity. Our operations are centered around two sites: our GLBT Historical Society Museum, located since 2011 in the heart of San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood; and our Dr. John P. De Cecco Archives and Research Center, open to researchers in the Mid-Market district.

Finally. A platform made for Local Progressive Campaigns. Campaign tech has evolved to be fragmented, expensive, and built for large campaigns with internal technology teams. Universe is built exclusively for down ballot campaigns, local organizations, and first-time candidates - giving them access to all of the modern tooling they need to run their campaign, even without a large budget or in-house tech team.

The Alexandria Archive Institute is a non-profit technology company that preserves and shares archaeological and related data on the Web, free of charge. Through advocacy, education, research and technology programs like Open Context, we pioneer ways to make primary research open to everyone. Archaeological findings play a pivotal role in our development as a society but the vast majority of our understanding about the human past is locked in the Ivory Tower, behind expensive pay-walls. The public’s access is mostly limited to commercially and politically distorted and sensationalized fragments. These barriers impoverish learning and public understanding, and stifle discovery and progress. Our work aims to free this knowledge from academic, technological, and commercial silos. Open access to scientific literature and data powers learning. It improves our understanding of who we are, and can inspire us to shape better futures as global citizens. Eliminating access barriers to research creates more collaboration toward the greater goal of discovery. We connect with researchers on global initiatives such as sharing standards, technology, data, good practices, as well as ideas. In fact, we often fund other open access initiatives with our grant funding. We’ve been fortunate to receive funding from private donors as well as organizations including the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Google, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. With the goal of expanding our efforts even further in 2017, we invite you to share in our mission by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution of any amount.
