The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically shifted nearly all parts of life. For organizations working on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) people in the United States, it is clear that their financial outlooks and stability for 2021 will continue to be impacted by the pandemic. This report examines the impact of COVID-19 on LGBTQ and allied organizations. This report provides findings from the November 2020 survey in which organizations were asked to share their experiences during the year and their plans as they look forward to 2021. MAP received responses from 37 organizations to the November 2020 survey. A majority of the organizations are LGBTQ-focused, though they include advocacy organizations, community centers, legal groups, and research organizations.
