The LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is a political action committee (PAC) based in the United States that supports and endorses LGBTQ+ candidates running for political office. The organization was founded in 1991 with the goal of increasing the representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in government at all levels, from local to federal.
The Victory Fund works to identify and support LGBTQ+ candidates who are committed to advancing LGBTQ+ rights and issues, and who have a strong chance of winning their races. The organization provides resources, training, and financial support to endorsed candidates, as well as working to raise awareness and build support for their campaigns.
Over the years, the Victory Fund has helped to elect hundreds of openly LGBTQ+ officials at all levels of government, including mayors, city council members, state legislators, and members of Congress. The organization has also been instrumental in advancing LGBTQ+ rights and issues, including advocating for marriage equality, anti-discrimination protections, and transgender rights.
In addition to endorsing candidates, the Victory Fund also conducts research and publishes reports on LGBTQ+ representation in government and politics, as well as providing resources and support for LGBTQ+ elected officials and aspiring candidates.
