We Need Your Help

To Educate and Inspire

In 2022, the Gilbert Baker Foundation will be staging exciting new events aimed at educating and inspiring future generations about the LGBTQ Rainbow Flag.

The Rainbow Flag is the most universally recognized LGBTQ+ symbol in the world.

In the 44 years since it was created by artist-activist Gilbert Baker, the Rainbow Flag has inspired millions to break down closet doors and fight for full equality. Since Baker’s passing in 2017, The Gilbert Baker Foundation has worked tirelessly to carry on this mission at home and abroad. Please consider making a donation to help us carry on our work on  upcoming projects :

FLAG IN THE MAP

The Gilbert Baker Foundation has partnered with England’s ReportOUT on ‘Flag in the Map,’ an exciting new educational project that will document people flying their Pride flags, however they are able, in all parts of the world. We have already collected submissions from a digital open call in Fall of 2021. Fundraising will be used to

  • Transform these images into a book
  • Hold  two launch exhibitions in both the U.K. and USA, for Pride Month in 2022

LANDMARKING HARVEY MILK PLAZA

The Gilbert Baker Foundation has initiated the process of landmarking the historic Rainbow Flag at Harvey Milk Plaza in San Francisco, the only surviving permanent Gilbert Baker art installation in the world. Landmarking this glorious symbol will guarantee that the Rainbow Flag will be flying forever 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in the heart of the city where it was created!

“The rainbow flag is a beacon of hope to the world, for those ready to  liberate themselves from the darkness of the closet and step into the light of freedom”
