The story

Founded by Tim Gill.1

The Gill Foundation was founded by Tim Gill in 1994, two years after the passage of Amendment 2, a Colorado ballot initiative denying lesbian, gay, and bisexual people equal protection under the law. As of 2017, the foundation had granted more than $335 million to various nonprofits.

In 2004, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the largest association of charitable fundraisers in the world, honored the Gill Foundation with its Outstanding Foundation award.

On April 1, 2025, Kate Kendell was announced as the new CEO of the foundation, with a start date of May 7.
