San Francisco AIDS Foundation v. Trump is a lawsuit filed on February 20, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In the lawsuit, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and eight other nonprofit organizations challenge provisions in the executive orders of President Donald Trump.
Background.
The plaintiffs include the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and eight other nonprofit organizations that support LGBTQ and HIV-affected communities. They are represented by Lambda Legal. 
The lawsuit names 17 defendants including Donald Trump.
The lawsuit challenges the executive orders titled "Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing" (EO 14151), "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" (EO 14168), and "Ending Illegal Discrimination And Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity" (EO 14173). These orders, which were signed at the beginning of Trump's second presidency in January 2025, restrict federal grant funding for organizations based on their policies on DEI and gender identity.
Legal proceedings.
On May 22, 2025, Judge Jon S. Tigar heard arguments from the parties at the federal courthouse in Oakland, California. The plaintiffs requested a preliminary injunction to block the implementation of Trump's executive orders.
On June 9, 2025, judge Tigar granted the plaintiff's request to block enforcement of the grant funding requirements in Trump's executive orders, finding that these provisions "reflect an effort to censor constitutionally protected speech and services promoting DEI and recognizing the existence of transgender individuals". However, the judge did not block all of the provisions in the orders, and ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge five of the nine provisions they contested in the lawsuit.
