This program supports the conservation and respect of great and small apes, including bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons. Key objectives include protecting resilient populations from extinction, ensuring sustainable habitat management through holistic governance, and ensuring that apes in captivity are cared for in accredited sanctuaries rather than being exploited for entertainment or research.

## Approach & Strategy
The Arcus Foundation operates as a highly focused private grantmaker with two non-overlapping program areas: LGBTQ Social Justice and Great Apes & Gibbons Conservation. Founded in 2000 by Jon Stryker (heir to the Stryker medical device fortune), Arcus has distributed nearly $600 million across approximately 3,000 grants to more than 500 organizations — making it the largest dedicated LGBTQ rights funder in the world, and a leading funder in great ape conservation.
Strategic posture: Arcus is a movement-building funder, not a project-funder. It prioritizes organizations that are doing systems-level work: policy advocacy, legal challenges, movement infrastructure, coalition building, and thought leadership. Single-project grants are less competitive than multi-year organizational support grants.
Relationship-driven grantmaking: Arcus convenes grantees, stakeholders, and movement leaders. The foundation actively participates in the funding ecosystem and lifts grantee voices. Applicants who have existing connections to Arcus grantee networks or have presented at Arcus-convened events have a meaningful advantage.
Dual-program independence: The LGBTQ Social Justice and Great Apes & Gibbons programs operate largely independently with separate program officers and distinct geographic strategies. Do not attempt to combine both areas in a single proposal — each program evaluates fit against its own strategic framework.
Geographic intentionality: The LGBTQ program concentrates on 12 priority countries in Africa and the Americas where LGBTQ populations face significant barriers. The apes program focuses on 24 priority landscapes in 18 countries across Africa and Asia. Applicants working outside these focal geographies should not apply unless their work has explicit transnational relevance.
## Funding Patterns
Arcus has awarded approximately 3,000 grants totaling ~$600 million since 2000, reflecting an average annual grantmaking budget of roughly $24 million. The foundation's asset base of ~$302 million (as of most recent 990) and its investment income support this level. Annual grantmaking fluctuates, but Arcus typically awards between 50-100 grants per year across both programs.
Typical grant size: Most grants fall between $100,000 and $150,000 per year. Multi-year grants (2-3 years) are available for well-aligned, established organizations. The largest grants can reach $1.4M+ for multi-year, multi-country initiatives. Internal data shows a median grant of ~$52,763 and an average of ~$85,244, suggesting that many grants are below $100K, particularly for emerging organizations or focused advocacy campaigns.
Grant duration: Multi-year commitments are preferred for organizations with proven track records. First-time grantees typically receive 1-year grants before moving to multi-year relationships.
Program allocation: Arcus does not publish its exact split between the two programs, but the Great Apes & Gibbons program historically accounts for approximately 30-40% of grantmaking, with LGBTQ Social Justice receiving 60-70%.
Renewal patterns: The foundation has a strong track record of renewing grants to high-performing grantees. Organizations like OutRight Action International, UHAI-EASHRI (East Africa), and GALE (Global Alliance for LGBT Education) have received repeated multi-year support.

## Recent Activity
2024-2025 LGBTQ Social Justice priorities: Arcus has intensified focus on sub-Saharan Africa following increased criminalization legislation in Uganda (2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act) and legislative threats in Kenya, Ghana, and Ethiopia. The foundation has prioritized legal defense funds, digital security for LGBTQ activists, and community resilience grants for at-risk populations. In the Americas, Arcus focuses on Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago.
2024-2025 Great Apes program activity: Following the publication of the *State of the Apes* series (Cambridge University Press), Arcus has increased attention to captive ape welfare in the United States and is supporting efforts to transition great apes from biomedical research facilities to sanctuaries. The foundation also funded the Tonkolili Chimpanzee Project in Sierra Leone as a model for human-wildlife coexistence.
Organizational: The foundation published new program strategies for 2016-2026, indicating the current strategic framework runs through 2026. Applicants should expect a new strategic planning cycle to begin in 2025-2026, which may shift geographic and thematic priorities.
Financial: The foundation posted its 2024 financial statements on its website, consistent with its transparency commitment. Arcus maintains dual headquarters (New York City and Cambridge, UK), reflecting its global programming model.
Publication output: The *State of the Apes* book series (Vol. 1-13) remains a flagship thought leadership product. The foundation actively uses this series to shape the global conservation discourse and signal credibility to peer funders.
## Application Tips
1. Confirm geographic and thematic fit before applying. Arcus lists its 12 LGBTQ focus countries and 24 ape conservation landscapes publicly. If your work falls outside these priority areas, your application will not be competitive, regardless of merit. Verify alignment at arcusfoundation.org/grants before investing time in an application.
2. Lead with movement impact, not project outputs. Arcus is not looking for "we will train 500 people" metrics. It wants to understand how your work shifts power, changes policy, or builds the long-term capacity of the LGBTQ or ape conservation movement. Frame your theory of change around systemic change, not activity counts.
3. Expect a 2-6 month review cycle. Do not approach Arcus for emergency or fast-turnaround funding. Build in lead time and do not expect a grant decision in under 60 days. The foundation conducts thorough due diligence including site visits for larger grants.
4. Organizational standing is non-negotiable. Arcus does not fund individuals, fiscal sponsors for individuals, or unregistered groups. You must be a legally registered organization. This is a hard disqualification for fiscally-sponsored projects unless the *sponsor organization itself* is the lead applicant.
5. Engage before you apply. Arcus values relationship-based grantmaking. If possible, attend Arcus-convened forums, connect with program officers at conferences, or get a warm introduction through existing grantee partners. Cold applications that lack any prior relationship with the foundation are less competitive.
6. International organizations: address due diligence proactively. Non-US organizations must pass expenditure responsibility requirements. Prepare your financial statements, governance documents, and a clear description of US nexus (if required) before initiating contact.
7. Do not apply to both programs simultaneously unless you genuinely operate in both thematic areas. Submit to the program that best fits your work.
