Meet our Community Trailblazer, Jayson Littman! Raised in an Orthodox Jewish home in the Breuer’s community of Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan, Jayson had to navigate the complexities of reconciling his LGBT and Orthodox Jewish identities. After enduring five years of conversion therapy, Jayson came out as gay and founded Hebro, a social group for gay Jews in New York City. Through Hebro, Jayson has united thousands of gay Jews and established partnerships with organizations such as OneTable, Birthright, and Honeymoon Israel, ensuring a welcoming space for LGBTQ Jews within the broader Jewish community. In addition to his work with Hebro, Jayson serves on the Board of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, New York’s LGBTQ synagogue. Professionally, Jayson is the Director of Events & Protocol for Mayor Eric Adams. He previously held a similar position under Mayor Bill de Blasio and served as a Senior Advisor for LGBTQ Community Affairs. Jayson has united thousands of gay Jews and established partnerships ensuring a welcoming space for LGBTQ Jews within the broader Jewish community. Join us in celebrating Pride and the tremendous efforts of our honoree, Jayson, and sponsor and ad in his honor! https://jqy.org/nachas/

Well deserved! He has always had my back when we worked together. He is always on top of providing folks what they didn’t know they needed. It’s a game changer. If we could scale Jayson Littman, we would. Mazal tov!

Some good news as we head into the final weekend of Pride month: Funders for LGBTQ Issues has reported that Tides Foundation is the fifth-largest funder of LGBTQ issues in the United States! We're also the 4th-largest funder of LGBTQ issues by number of grants. Other takeaways from Funders for LGBTQ Issues' report: ➡️ Funding for trans communities from foundations increased by 34%, a result of strategic philanthropic organizing efforts that ramped up in response to a surge in legal and policy attacks on trans lives. ➡️ For the first time, a majority of grants from U.S. foundations were general operating support grants—vital for ensuring that LGBTQ organizations can function sustainably in the long term. ➡️ Funding to Black LGBTQ communities doubled from 7% to 14%, although total overall funding for LGBTQ communities of color decreased.
