About FEDERATION OF GAY GAMES INC

The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes the Gay Games — a global, quadrennial multisport and cultural event founded on the principles of Participation, Personal Best, and Inclusion. The EIN 94-2788905 was verified against publicly available nonprofit filings and the organization’s own website, confirming the profile is for the correct FGG entity. Over the past 2–3 years the FGG has overseen Gay Games XI (co-hosted in 2023), advanced preparations for Gay Games XII in València (scheduled June–July 2026), run an active Annual General Assembly (October 2025) and completed a global bid process for Gay Games XIII (2030). Recent program development includes expanded participant supports (scholarship programs) and the addition of new competition categories such as esports for the 2026 Games. FGG operates through a membership and volunteer network of LGBTQ+ sports and cultural organizations around the world and continues to deliver measurable local economic and community impact through its host-city events. The organization’s most recent publicly filed Form 990 (fiscal year ending June 2025) shows modest program revenue with net assets consistent with maintaining an active, donor-facing nonprofit operation.
