Who We Are
Founded in 1973, Lambda Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work.
As a nonprofit organization, we do not charge our plaintiffs for legal representation or advocacy, and we receive no government funding. We depend on contributions from supporters around the country.
What We Do
Impact Litigation
We select cases that will have the greatest impact in protecting and advancing the rights of LGBT people and those with HIV.

Public Policy
We advocate for public policy at the local, state and federal levels to improve the lives of LGBT people, people affected by HIV, and their families and allies.
