Gill Action Fund is an IRS 501(c)(4) issue advocacy organization dedicated to securing equal opportunity for all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression.

Gill Action was established in the fall of 2005 by Denver philanthropist and entrepreneur, Tim Gill. The fund partners with and provides resources to donors and organizations working to advance equality through the political, legislative, and electoral process.

Gill Action has a number of gay politicos at work, namely Patrick Guerriero, Robin Brand, and Bill Smith. Guerriero was the former executive director for the Log Cabin Repulicans. Brand is a democrat and Smith is also a republican.

Gill Action's Political OutGiving program works to engage and cultivate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allied philanthropists to help secure large-scale and long-term financial support to build a robust network of organizations working to advance full civil rights for LGBT people.
