The second annual LGBTQ+ Index, from Indiana University School of Education - Indianapolis is out. Some Key Takeaways: 🔹 LGBTQ+ organizations saw a 76% increase in assets from 2019-2021, concentrated in the largest organizations. 🔹 Charitable giving to #LGBTQ+ organizations has more than doubled over the past decade. Still, less than $1 out of $500 donated goes to support their efforts. 🔹 Growth varied across different types of LGBTQ+ organizations. 🔸 LGBTQ+ public-society benefit (such as grant-making organizations), education, and elders and aging organizations saw remarkable growth. 🔸 LGBTQ+ #HIV/AIDS organizations saw the lowest growth. 🔹 Diverging growth trends have led to an expanding community of LGBTQ+ organizations focused on a broader range of issues than a decade ago. This information is a valuable benchmark for nonprofit organizations within the sector. But, also good for development officers and nonprofit leaders to align their efforts. And, donors and funders to identify gaps in existing resources and get clear on the unique needs of LGBTQ+ organizations. #diversity #fundraising #nonprofits #philanthropy #foundations #research

"Over the decade 2012-2021, charitable giving to #LGBTQ+ organizations more than doubled...However, this still amounts to less than $1 out of every $500 donated going to support LGBTQ+ organizations." Interesting report here on trends over the last decade-plus, and a reminder that there is still much to do in advancing equity in #philanthropy.
Less Than $1 Out of Every $500 Donated in U.S. Goes to LGBTQ+ Organizations

🌈 We are extremely proud to have been partnered with Pret A Manger for nearly a decade! ☕ As the UK’s only LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity, we understand the importance of Pride for businesses. More than half of our corporate donations are made during Pride season. At akt, we are extremely grateful to receive donations during Pride. For us, it is a natural time to partner with corporations and launch activations at a time when they are more likely to grab customer and staff attention alike. However, as proud members of the LGBTQ+ community we are also rightfully wary of disingenuous connection, which can ultimately do more harm for our community than good. That is why we are passionate about collaborating with corporate partners who are committed to LGBTQ+ inclusion and equality internally, and who are seeking to build Pride campaigns that go beyond a social media post. One of our fantastic partners is The Pret Foundation. The Pret Foundation have remained consistent in their engagement and authentic support of akt, having partnered with our charity since 2015. As part of our partnership this year, Pret has offered its donation terminals to akt so its customers can ‘tap to donate’ directly to us in their shops during June and July. Additionally, a percentage of Pret’s Love Bar sales will be donated to akt in July. Donations help to provide emergency support and ‘Rainbow Starter Packs’ for young people who are starting out on their own. These packs ensure young people thrive in their new homes – providing funds for furniture, a deposit and other key essentials. Pret also holds a strong internal commitment to diversity and inclusion, recently launching its Diversity, Equity and Belonging groups. Clare Clough, UK Managing Director at Pret A Manger, says: “Together with The Pret Foundation, we are proudly partnered with akt to support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Over the past eight years, we’ve awarded grants to support young people. This partnership aligns with our commitment to creating an inclusive environment for our customers and employees. At Pret, we believe everyone deserves a safe space to belong, whether in our shops or support centre. Join us this Pride in supporting akt and the important work they do.” 🔗This pride, you could help us save a LGBTQ+ young person’s life. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eMzqYMCF

Did you know that with every event ticket you purchase from Sesh Coworking the proceeds go directly supporting local non-profits, community organizations and businesses for women, communities of color and the LGBTQ+ community through providing them space??? Why do these organizations need complimentary or discounted space? Because often times the funding they receive from grants or the government is restricted to hiring, wages, or equipment. Not very often does it provide funding for space to hold board meetings, community gatherings, workshops or volunteer events. https://lnkd.in/g2_uuBtU

Human rights advocate | Team Lead Manager at SafeHarbor Shelter Uganda | Committed to justice and equality with a focus on protecting LGBTQ 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️rights and supporting vulnerable communities.
Update on Joy’s Health We want to share an update on Joy, a trans girl who was attacked alongside her friend Ray while at church. Ray's condition has significantly improved and continues to get better each day. However, while Joy’s health is in a slightly better place, she still experiences a lot of pain. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our donors and friends who helped us get Joy to the hospital. Without your support, her story could have been very different. We are still in need of financial assistance to pay for Joy’s ongoing hospital bills and to maintain our shelter, which houses 50 LGBTQ persons. Operating an LGBTQ shelter in a hostile environment with very limited financial resources presents constant challenges. Your continued support is crucial for us to provide a safe haven for those who need it most. Please consider donating to help us keep the shelter running and ensure that Joy receives the care she needs. CHIP IN NOW, HELP US SAVE JOY'S LIFE DONATION LINK: https://goget.fund/48usKYj Thank you for standing with us. #LGBTQIA #TransVisibility #ProtectTransLives #EndHomophobia #Equality #SupportOurCause #Charity #NonProfit #SocialJustice #InclusiveHealthcare #HelpNeeded #HealthcareForAll #SupportAndSolidarity #HumanDignity #EndDiscrimination #InclusiveCommunities #CompassionInAction #EqualityForAll #UrgentAppeal #CommunityCare #HelpUsHelpOthers

💁♀️ I help women and LGBTQ+ founders and organisations look good in an inclusive and accessible way 🏳️🌈 British Creative Business"woman" of the Year 2023-24
I’m feeling very proud, yet a little sad. We put our heart and soul into this campaign, and although we understand there have been really big emergencies in the past month to say the least, I was (maybe naively?) hoping for something more. The response to the campaign has been absolutely overwhelming, with so many people sharing, commenting, vouching for us and supporting our mission. I still can’t believe how much we managed to build in so little time with Studio Lutalica, and I’m so incredibly proud of the amazing connections we made along the way. But I’m passionate and ambitious so nothing is ever enough 🥲 and I really want to start helping more organisations, especially the ones that don’t have the budget to spend to reach their audiences in a more accessible way. And what do we need to do more? You guessed it - money 💰 It’s been really hard to prove the impact of our work, but to put it as simple as possible: let’s say we work with an LGBTQ+ homelessness charity. We can’t take credit for the brilliance of the services they offer, of course, but if we build a brand that is credible, they can get more donations to help more people. If we build an accessible website, we can make a difference for service users being able to find the organisation and get support, and potentially even get a bed for the night in case of emergency. As I said many times, we will implement a sustainable structure for pro bono services. But with your help, we can start much sooner. It’s not too late. There are two days left to support our crowdfunding campaign. If you have anything to spare, please donate here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U #PurposeOverProfit #DesignForChange #Crowdfunding #DonateNow #LGBTQDesign #FeministDesign #NonProfit #Pride
🌟It’s the Last Weekend! 🌟 We’re so close to the finish line of our first crowdfunding campaign - if you haven’t yet, please consider donating today. Studio Lutalica is raising funds to build the infrastructure needed to offer pro bono design services to organisations advocating for equality and justice for women and LGBTQ+ communities. Your donation will help us create a sustainable framework so we can amplify these vital voices and their impact. Donate today and help us design brighter futures 👉https://lnkd.in/epa9zY5g #PurposeOverProfit #DesignForChange #LGBTQ #WomenEmpowerment #SocialJustice #Crowdfunding

In honor of #pridemonth2024, I wanted to share some relevant financial and estate planning guidance throughout the month: 25. Plan for charitable giving. Some LGBTQ individuals and families may have smaller chosen families for future gifting and legacy transfers. These individuals and families may want to consider using annual gifting strategies, donor advised funds, charitable remainder or lead trusts, or other charitable vehicles to transfer money to charities that support their values and lived experiences. It is important, as advisors, not to make assumptions and to lead potentially with values-oriented and legacy-focused conversations. #legacy. #LGBTQ. #charitablegiving. #chosenfamily.

Pride Wide: Filling the storytelling gap for LGBTQIA+ equality Pride Wide is a new kind of global non-profit organization, working towards a future of freedom, equality, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ people around the world. What sets us apart? Our focus is on storytelling and engagement. Many LGBTQIA+ changemakers, while effective in policy and legal battles, lack the communication skills to win hearts and minds. This creates an opening for negative narratives to dominate the news media and social platforms. Pride Wide's solution: Compelling stories: We will counter negative narratives by crafting powerful and relatable stories about the LGBTQIA+ community. Global collaboration: Led by a global board, we bring together experts in media, business, charities, and community leadership from around the world. Experienced leadership: Our founders have a proven track record in creating engaging and impactful LGBTQIA+ content through their previous work running the much-missed global website, Gay Star News. How you can get involved: If you'd like to learn more about Pride Wide or contribute to our mission, reach out to us at [email protected]. #LGBTQIA #Equality #Storytelling #PrideWide #NonProfit Scott Nunn Tris Reid-Smith

Welcome to Day 5 of the Flying Cars fundraising inspiration Smörgåsbord! It has been a super tough year for fundraisers and charities. But a lot of fantastic work has been created. So, every day in December I will highlight a different brilliant campaign to celebrate. 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 😎 ⬇️ __________________ Day 5 we are moving into the world of lottery. Specifically the Rainbow Lottery. It's the first lottery that exclusively supports LGBTQ+ good causes. And players can choose which causes to support. The brainchild of Tom Gattos + David Murray this product has a really clear and simple proposition. 'I want to play a lottery' + 'I want to support LGBTQ+ causes'. This is the kind of offer that really cuts through - there is a very clear audience and product. Lots of organisations are signed up - big & small - and we can only see this going from strength to strength in the coming years. 🌈 #fundraising #innovation

Want to see a donation of $1500 get made to The Trevor Project from the #samsales crew today? Here's how you can help simply by liking or reposting this post. As we considered spending some marketing budget to a sponsored newsletter or ad, we instead thought... ...why don't we ask for this community's help in marketing one of our top offerings, and give the money to an amazing cause that can do good in the world rather than spending that money with a corporation. ******************************************************************************* The marketing message we wanted to get out: If your teams are struggling with: 📧 Open, reply, meeting booking rates ✂ Understanding how to cut through the noise of an executive's inbox to earn a meeting 💡 Figuring out the "so what" value prop of what your solutions do for each buyer persona 🖋 Understanding how to write great sequences 🤓 Learning how to handle objections, ask for referrals, multithread, or use simple 101 email hacks ...then our Show Me You Know Me Masterclass series can help you address any or all of the above. ******************************************************************************* We'll add $1 per like + $5 for each repost (without your thoughts), up to $1500, that we get by 5pmET today, and donate to The Trevor Project before COB. If you get our newsletter or have seen our charity work these past few years, you'll know that this organization, which provides suicide prevention support for LGBTQ+ youths, is one we've long supported and cheer for loudly. And if this post gets us to our donation goal, we'll do it again this week with another charity. #samsales #SMYKM
