A pro-gay foundation has given a $200,000 grant to Dignity USA, an organization devoted to promoting Catholic acceptance of homosexuality, to “counter the narrative of the Catholic Church” on same-sex relationships in the next two years as the Church undergoes its Synod on the Family and prepares for World Youth Day in Kraków, Poland in 2016.

The Arcus Foundation, which was founded in 2000 to promote both same-sex "marriage" and the “rights and intrinsic value of the great apes,” lists the 2014 grant on its website. The grant description states:
