Mission: National lgbtq task force action fund, founded in 1974 as the national gay and lesbian task force, inc. , works to build the grassroots political power of the lgbt community to win complete equality. We do this through direct and grassroots lobbying to defeat anti-lgbt ballot initiatives and legislation and pass pro-lgbt legislation and other measures. We also analyze and report on the positions of candidates for public office on issues of importance to the lgbt community. The task force action fund is a 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation incorporated in new york. Contributions to the national lgbtq task force action fund are not tax deductible.

(b) worked to demand inclusion of lgbtq people and their families in federal surveys(c) worked to move forward lgbtq positive federal legislation, including the equality act; and worked to defeat anti-lgbtq legislation.
