The Biden Foundation was a nonprofit organization established by former Vice President Joe Biden and former Second Lady Jill Biden in 2017 to support the left-of-center policies that Vice President Biden had worked to implement during his time in the Senate and the Obama administration. [1] The Foundation closed its doors in April of 2019 after Vice President Biden announced his 2020 Presidential campaign. [2]
During its period of operation, the Foundation advanced left-of-center initiatives surrounding violence against women, LGBT issues, and economic redistribution. [3] The Foundation also partnered with a number of left-of-center organizations to promote its mission, including the Trevor Project, the LGBT Community Center, and the True Colors Fund. [4] The Foundation has received financial support for its initiatives from left-of-center grantmaking organizations including the Gill Foundation, the David Bohnett Foundation, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. [5]
LGBT Advocacy
In May of 2018, the Biden Foundation joined with the YMCA of the USA promote LGBT-friendly communities, organizing a cohort of YMCA organizations to develop and implement local strategies to support LGBT individuals and families. [19] The initiative recommended that YMCAs train staff on LGBT issues, engage LGBT YMCA members directly, and create community outreach programs for LGBT people. [20] The collaborative initiative received support from the Gill Foundation and the David Bohnett Foundation, two left-of-center grantmaking organizations that focus on LGBT issues. [21]
In August of 2018, the Biden Foundation launched the “As You Are Initiative,” a public education program designed to highlight the harm caused by family rejection of LGBT youth and promote research on family acceptance of LGBT children. [22] The Foundation recruited activists from a number of left-of-center organizations to participate in announcing the initiative, including representatives from the Trevor Project, the True Colors Fund, and the LGBT Community Center. [23]
In early 2019, the Biden Foundation announced the “Advancing Acceptance” public education campaign in collaboration with theMovement Advancement Project and Gender Spectrum, two LGBT advocacy organizations. [24] The campaign sought to elevate stories about transgender children who are supported by their families to encourage other families to allow their children to change their genders or align as “gender-nonconforming.” [25] The campaign sought to gather video testimonials of supportive families, while also providing resources to transgender children, their families, and policymakers. [26]
Emily Hecht-McGowen, director of LGBTQ equality at the Biden Foundation, used the Biden Foundation’s LGBT campaigns to advocate for left-of-center policy change, claiming that the Trump administration had damaged the LGBT community by rolling back regulations imposed by the Obama administration. Hecht-McGowen, speaking on behalf of the Biden Foundation, decried the Trump administration’s decision to remove the mandate that children be allowed to use restrooms in public schools which correspond to their self-proclaimed gender identity, not their biological sex. [27]
In August of 2020, the left-of-center National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) Action Fund announced its support for Biden’s 2020 Presidential campaign, citing the Biden Foundation’s transgender activism as its core reason to support Vice President Biden’s campaign.
