There are many LGBTQ individuals on record as founders or executives with Charitable Foundations around the world. Many of these charitable organizations specifically serve the LGBTQ community. Others are large global charitable organizations involved in a wide variety of activities, such as health, education, or book publishing. Still others are involved in local charitable work that serve a small and defined geographical region or purpose.

A good number of the Charitable organizations are devoted to research and support services to the HIV/AIDS community. This has been a traditional area of support for the international LGBTQ community since the crisis began in the mid-1980s. These organizations include large groups such as The Elton John AIDS Foundation or the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR), as well as local groups including the Casey House AIDS Foundation (Canada), the Terrance Higgins Trust (Great Britain), Jamaica AIDS Support, or the NAZ Foundation (India).

Other charitable organizations are devoted to advancing or protecting the rights of LGBTQ minorities in their country. One of the oldest is Germany's Hirschfeld Eddy Foundation.

There are prominent global charitable foundations that have been created by LGBTQ individuals or have senior management who are members of the community. The Rhodes Trust, founded by South Africa's Cecil Rhodes, is the largest global educational trust in the world and provides scholarships for students studying at The University of Oxford. The Ford Foundation in the United States, headed by gay Darren Walker, is the second largest private charitable trust in that country.
