2008 State of the States report on state-based LGBT advocacy groups

This report, prepared jointly by MAP and the Equality Federation, provides LGBT movement organizations, allies, partners, and funders with an overview of statewide LGBT advocacy organizations, including their capacity, the issues they are addressing, and the strategies and tactics they employ to achieve LGBT equality. 

The 2008 edition of the report analyzes data on 41 state-based groups in 36 states. Findings are presented in three main sections: 

• the capacity of organizations working in the states, including their legal types, revenues, staffs, and board; 
• the electoral and policy work they engage in, including an overview of strategies; and 
• information on the national organizations that provide support to the state groups.
