June was a busy month filled with activities and initiatives dedicated to pride. Riskified proudly made donations in honor of Pride Month to Trinity Place Foundation Shelter in New York and IGY - Israel Gay Movement in Israel. Both organizations support homeless LGBTQ+ youth, providing them with shelter and access to the skills and resources needed to break the cycle of homelessness. In Tel Aviv, we hosted the "You Can’t Ask That!" panel featuring our very own employees. The panel answered anonymous questions submitted by employees. In the US, we had our annual volunteering at Trinity Place Shelter and celebrated Pride Month with a colorful Drag Queen Bingo with Confetti. Riskified's employees also enjoyed pride happy hours both inside and outside the office. Happy Pride! #pridemonth2024 #LoveIsLove #PrideInTheWorkplace #LGBTQSupport

LGBTQ+ led and serving organizations are chronically under resourced. According to Funders for LGBQT Issues’ Grantmaking by US Foundations Report, for every $100 awarded by US foundations in 2021, only 28 cents specifically supported LGBTQ communities and issues; foundations allocated less than 4 cents per $100 of their total giving to trans communities and issues. These numbers are alarming, but they speak to the lack of investment in LGBTQ+ led and serving work - Which is why organizations like ours are so reliant on community donations! Please join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives and futures of systems-impacted trans and queer people this Give OUT Day! https://lnkd.in/gzupHnkN

WHY IT MATTERS:
Thrilled that M&T Bank is supporting the Equality Community Center with $20,000 to further their mission and important work. We look forward to partnering with the ECC throughout the year and making a difference in our community! The Equality Community Center (ECC) in Portland is the first of its kind in Maine - a collaborative workplace for LGBTQ+ and allied social justice-seeking non-profit organizations while also serving as a community center for Maine’s LGBTQ+ community. My colleagues Mike Ross, Isaac Yeboah Yeboah, Katie Rooks of M&T Bank, and Wilmington Trust's Jerry Weidner of Wilmington Trust enjoyed a tour and presented a $20,000 donation to the ECC. “The funds from The M&T Charitable Foundation will support our efforts so we can continue to provide a space where everyone can be their authentic selves and thrive.” - Chris O’Connor, Executive Director, ECC Board

Happy Pride Month! We are allies. 🌈 Here are 5 ways to celebrate Pride Month: 1. Educate yourself Learn all about the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, its history, and its challenges. 2. Donate Give back to the LGBTQIA+ community by donating to an affiliated nonprofit in your area. 3. Increase LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the workplace If your workplace does not have a culture that promotes LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, speak to your manager about ways the company can be more inclusive to this community. 4. Watch a documentary on the Stonewall Riots Learn how it all began by watching an informative documentary on the Stonewall Riots and the events that preceded and followed them, like “Stonewall Forever” or “Stonewall Uprising”. 5. Be supportive If someone you know is LGBTQIA+, be supportive as they pursue their journey. #pridemonth #LGBTQIA+ #loveislove #metabolichealth #obesitymedicine #obesity #ally Courtney Younglove, M.D., FOMA, FACOG, DABOM Maribeth Orr, D.O., DABFM, DABOM Maren Ozier Here is more about Pride Month from The National Council for Mental Well Being 👇 https://lnkd.in/eNmtJ-4M

Today, 28 May, is LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day. This important day reminds us that domestic and family violence (DFV) can occur in LGBTQIA+ relationships, and it’s crucial to believe and support survivors and those struggling in abusive situations. The statistics are alarming: 61% of LGBTQIA+ people have experienced violence from an intimate partner, and 81% with severe disabilities have experienced family violence (AIHW). At Out For Australia, we stand in solidarity with those affected by intimate partner and family violence. It is essential to raise awareness and take action against this pervasive issue not just today, but every day. For more information and resources on how to take action, visit: 🌈 LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Foundation: www.dvafoundation.org 🌈 Say It Out Loud: sayitoutloud.org.au Together, we can create a safer and more supportive community for everyone. 💪🏳️🌈 #LGBTQDVADay #EndDV #SupportSurvivors #OutForAustralia

Did you know that Reach is the single largest source of trustees to the voluntary sector? 📊 In 2023, charities appointed 1,539 trustees through our service – including 67 chairs, 150 treasurers, 58 trustees with experience in income generation, 47 with an HR background and 25 ‘digital’ trustees. 💪 Not only did these trustees bring essential expertise to the boards they joined – they also brought much needed diversity. 🙌 Reach applicants were more likely than the general UK population to identify as LGBTQ+ or as coming from a global majority community. 🌈 They were also far more diverse in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality and disability than trustees as a whole. Find out more in our 2023 Impact report: https://buff.ly/3UCpINI #Diversity #Trustees #Leadership #ImpactReport
