Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Parity: Faith-rooted nonprofit advancing LGBTQ equality through Christian leadership development and advocacy - similar training-and-advocacy model with a stronger policy-engagement orientation.
• Whosoever: Online community and publication providing affirming Christian resources and personal stories to LGBTQ Christians and allies - overlaps in digital content and theological resource distribution.
• Soulforce: Nonprofit that works at the intersection of LGBTQ identity and conservative Christian communities, using dialogue and nonviolent advocacy - mission overlap is direct, though Soulforce leans more activist/legal and TRP leans theological/scholarship.
• Q Christian Foundation: The largest explicitly LGBTQ-affirming Christian network in the U.S. (formerly Gay Christian Network), operating conferences (Q-Capital Conference), online community, and resource library - structurally the closest comparison to The Reformation Project's mission and programming.
• Believe Out Loud: Online network that equips mainline Protestant Christians to advocate for LGBTQ inclusion through church-based campaigns, sermons, and storytelling - directly comparable mission with content-and-network distribution.
• DignityUSA: Long-standing organization advocating for LGBTQ inclusion within the Catholic Church - same theological-advocacy model aimed at a specific (Catholic) denomination, broadly comparable in structure and donor-funded revenue.
• CenterPeace: Faith-based organization that engages conflict in the church on sexuality and gender; cross-promotes with The Reformation Project on alternating-year conferences (e.g., CenterPeace 20th Anniversary Conference, October 2026). Closest known operational ally.
• The Marin Foundation: Former evangelical ministry focused on building bridges between conservative religious communities and LGBTQ people, including one-on-one pastor dialogues - closely aligned with the pastor-conversion segment of TRP's work.

Broad incumbents

• Human Rights Campaign: The largest U.S. LGBTQ civil-rights advocacy organization - overlaps in the affirming-Christian constituency but serves a much broader LGBTQ agenda at national scale, functioning as a broader incumbent rather than a faith-specialized direct competitor.

Regional players

• PFLAG: Largest U.S. organization for families, allies, and LGBTQ people - shares the parent-support mission with TRP's Parent Study Group but operates as a secular peer-support network rather than a theological-formation organization.
