Give OUT Day is This Week! Support the Local LGBTQ Nonprofits that Support our Community

 

Give OUT Day is coming up on April 19 and it's the ONLY national day of giving for the LGBTQ community – a 24-hour online fundraising event that unites donors and nonprofit organizations from across the country to raise critically needed funds. 

LGBTQ nonprofits power our movement for equality and justice and are critical to making sure that LGBTQ people have access to the support and services that they need. For decades and decades, from bar fundraisers and penny jars to gala fundraisers and major gifts, individual donors have funded progress at every step.

Give OUT Day follows and builds on this great tradition. Throughout this day-long event, thousands of people make gifts to support a vast array of LGBTQ nonprofits across the country, ranging from the arts to social services agencies, advocacy groups to sports leagues, community centers to health care nonprofits. Monetary donations are the most direct way to help a nonprofit make an impact: they allow nonprofits to allocate funds where they are most needed.
 
Since its inception in 2013, over 33,000 individual donors have contributed more than $4 million and supported more than 600 different organizations in every part of the country. These funds have translated directly into services, advocacy, and programs that help tens of thousands of LGBTQ people. Participating nonprofits also receive trainings and marketing support, and a chance to win bonus prize money.
