Over 1,000 guests are expected to attend the event, which will be held on Saturday, March 14 at the JW Marriott LA Live in downtown Los Angeles.
Rhimes will receive HRC's Ally for Equality Award.
"We are thrilled to honor such a fierce and longtime advocate for LGBT equality at this year's HRC Los Angeles Gala Dinner," HRC President Chad Griffin said in a blog post.
