QGiving Guide History doesn’t happen by chance – give to your LGBT community today! Unprecedented gains towards marriage equality – 16 states and counting. Advancing towards federal non-discrimination protections. Transgender rights. LGBT rights around the world. If you’ve said to yourself even once these last few years, “I never thought it would happen in my lifetime,” it’s time now to say thanks.
Good things happen –and people get the real help they need – largely because of the amazing hard work of nonprofit organizations and volunteers. But hard work alone isn’t enough. Volunteers alone are rarely enough. Nonprofits also need money. It’s the generosity of donors – individuals, couples, families – that fuels our movement and makes sure that everyone in our community can lead a safe, healthy, and dignified life. This year, celebrate all our hard-won gains by making year-end gifts to support LGBT organizations. Your contributions, large and small, to whatever organizations, causes, or campaigns you’re most passionate about make a world of difference.
About the QGiving Guide Horizons Foundation’s research shows that less than five percent of LGBT people in the Bay Area give to LGBT causes – many of us say that we simply don’t know what nonprofits we can give to. The QGiving Guide is designed to help you learn more about the LGBT organizations doing important work here in the Bay Area – and to encourage you to give. All organizations have very brief descriptions; you can find out more on their websites. We have arranged the organizations by general categories, though some groups could easily fit under more than one area. From civil rights to music, social activities to violence prevention, there’s a community organization that needs your help – and LGBT people who depend on its work.
