The Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute works to achieve full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people by building, supporting, and advancing a diverse network of LGBT public leaders.
Through its training and professional development programs, the Victory Institute assists hundreds of individuals who go on to influential careers in politics, government, business and advocacy each year. Many of the Victory Institute’s trainees join the more than 1,000 openly LGBT elected and appointed officials now serving around the world.
Founded in 1993, the Victory Institute is a non-partisan, tax-exempt educational and research organization.
Our mission: to increase the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in public office and to provide programing service, and other support to help ensure their success.
