Keep ORAM Strong
Global funding for LGBTIQ refugee protection is shrinking.
ORAM now faces a $300,000 funding gap that threatens critical programs.

Funding Cuts Hit ORAM
Global funding for LGBTIQ rights and humanitarian protection has declined sharply over the past year.
Since early 2025, more than $125 million has been stripped from efforts advancing human rights for LGBTIQ people worldwide — roughly one-quarter of all international funding for this work.
As a result, ORAM now faces a $300,000 funding gap that threatens our ability to continue providing critical services.
What’s At Stake
ORAM cannot operate at our current level with this funding gap. Without closing this gap, we will be forced to scale back programs that LGBTIQ refugees urgently rely on.
Your Support Will Transform What Happens Next
Your support ensures that ORAM can continue delivering critical services while we pursue long-term solutions to strengthen this work.
To close this funding gap and protect ORAM’s programs, we have launched the Keep ORAM Strong campaign to raise $300,000 in unrestricted support.
These funds will:
- Protect critical services for LGBTIQ refugees
- Maintain ORAM’s programs during a period of global funding contraction
- Provide the runway needed to pursue options that strengthen the future of this work
“I would suggest donors continue supporting us because we need ORAM now more than ever."
