Project 1000 

Project 1000 is a five-year drive to spotlight 1000 LGBT+ and supportive allies working within the financial services industry. The overall goal is to improve awareness and visibility through our positive action initiatives. Our role models represent over sixty firms and three continents, including the USA, UK, EMEA and APAC.

LGBT Great works collaboratively with other diversity initiatives, such as the Diversity Project, to maximise outreach. Our visible role models make a positive impact across the industry by inspiring others, increasing confidence and improving business reputation.

"Membership of LGBT Great provides Fidelity International with the opportunity to be a part of an organisation that creates positive change for LGBT+ people across the financial services industry. Since becoming a founding member, we have made new connections, enhanced our organisation’s visibility and inspired more colleagues to support the community. Our partnership with LGBT Great continues to be highly valuable."
Anne Richards, Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity International

“Natixis Investment Managers is a proud supporter of LGBT Great, and Project 1000 provides a great platform to inspire LGBTQ+ colleagues and supportive allies to be visible within the financial services industry. It’s essential for everyone be comfortable being their true selves in all aspects of their lives, including at work, so we are excited to partner with LGBT Great during this next great phase of its vital work in our industry."
