How Your Donations Help LGBTQ+ Organizations Make an Impact
Learn about some of the ways that donors shape the world through their support of LGBTQ+ nonprofits:
1. Advocacy, Law and Policy
Today, many organizations work to advance human and civil rights around the world for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This wide-ranging work includes making recommendations to lawmakers on ways to improve existing laws to prevent discrimination and producing toolkits for activists.
2. Visibility and Representation
Visibility helps drive acceptance. Numerous organizations work closely with media and business leaders to help them embrace representation of the LGBTQ+ community, through efforts like producing data-driven studies and helping launch awareness-raising campaigns about fair representation.
3. 24/7 Hotlines and Support
Studies have found that LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of suicide than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts. Hotlines provide essential support and crisis intervention, which helps people know that they are not alone. 39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in 2024, with this figure rising to 46% for transgender and nonbinary young people.
4. Aid
Aid can come in several forms, including direct financial support and emergency or transitional housing. A survey published in 2021 found that 28% of LGBTQ+ youth experienced homelessness or housing instability at some point, which highlights the obstacles faced by many LGBTQ+ youth.
