Alexander Lee Email & Phone Number

Alexander Lee is a Deputy Director, Funders for LGBTQ Issues at Funders for LGBTQ Issues. Colleagues describe him as "Alex is an absolutely outstanding leader. He has an exceptional capacity to develop strong systems and collaborative processes while also moving work forward to achieve core goals and outcomes. Within two months of starting as Director of the Grantmakers United for Trans Communities (GUTC) Initiative, he had worked collaboratively with multiple committees and partners to set up criteria for our fellowship program and developed and launched the application process for our first cohort of fellows. Thanks to his leadership, the GUTC fellowship program has now provided much-needed mentorship, support, and professional development for several cohorts of outstanding trans leaders in philanthropy. He also launched the GUTC pledge, which galvanized more than 45 funders into making strong, concrete commitments to increase their funding for trans communities, to improve their internal practices for trans inclusion, and to speak out for trans rights. Alex's transformative leadership has been crucial to helping philanthropy become more inclusive of trans communities - not only in increasing grant dollars, but also in helping foundations become more thoughtful about trans issues in deeper ways. It's been an honor to have worked with him, and I hope I'll have the chance to do so again!"
