Tim Gill

American software entrepreneur and philanthropist Tim Gill founded the Gill Foundation in 1994. Today, the foundation is one of the nation’s leading funders of efforts to secure full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people. Since its inception, the Gill Foundation has invested more than $390 million in programs and nonprofit organizations around the nation, substantially contributing to many of the country’s watershed victories for LGBTQ equality. Gill currently serves as the co-chair of the foundation’s board of directors.

A longtime advocate for equality, Gill is also a strong supporter of social justice organizations and educational institutions. Gill was one of the first major contributors to the Colorado AIDS Project and has long supported local public radio and television through program underwriting.
