This Pride Month, every donation to GiveOut is doubled through the LGBTQI Solidarity Fund, our partnership with the UK government to resource LGBTQI activists worldwide.

Whether you’re able to give £5, £50, £500, or more, every donation makes a difference, especially because every pound will be matched. Collective action is what makes this work possible, and Pride is a reminder that change happens when communities come together.

LGBTQI activists around the world are building a future where everyone can live with safety, dignity, freedom and joy. In 65 countries, being LGBTQI is still criminalised, yet these movements press on with hope and determination. But they cannot do it alone.

GiveOut exists to pool donations and ensure activists have the flexible, reliable funding they need to bring about real change. Last year, our donor community raised £162,722.98 over Pride Month to support over 50 grassroots LGBTQI organisations across 6 continents.

Right now, a trans woman in Guyana is earning her own income from her own business for the first time, supported by a local LGBTQI organisation that helped her get there. In Mongolia, the local community has created a space where all LGBTQI people can finally feel safe and belong. And in Saint Lucia, years of collective activism by a movement that refused to give up has made being LGBTQI no longer a crime.

These are the kinds of changes grassroots LGBTQI organisations are making possible every day, but they need your support to keep going.
