What Limits LGBTQIA+ Rights?Anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation undermines rights, limits access to healthcare, free speech and expression, and impacts education. The ACLU tracks the 494 anti-LGBTQ bills currently targeting these communities. There are hundreds of anti-transgender bills this year alone that aim to limit the rights of this population. In the spirit of making a tangible #impact, we are proud to share our guide highlighting the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQIA+ community. This resource is designed to help donors and allies understand the root causes of inequitable outcomes and outline opportunities to support change. 🌈 Explore the guide here: https://lnkd.in/eQsyuEm4 come together this #PrideMonth and beyond to create a more inclusive and just world for all. #GivingCompass #SocialChange #philanthropy #LGBTQIA+ #Rights #legislation #DonorEducation

📢 A Dark Day for LGBTQIA+ Rights in Georgia 🇬🇪🏳️🌈 Today, Georgia's parliament passed a law that severely restricts LGBTQIA+ rights, marking a heartbreaking setback for equality in the country. Having worked in Tbilisi for three years on queer rights, this news is particularly disheartening. The law, which bans the "promotion" of LGBTQIA+ identities, endangers the safety and dignity of a community that has fought so hard for visibility and equality. This action must be met with firm international condemnation. It is not just an attack on the LGBTQIA+ community—it is an attack on fundamental human rights. The world must come together to support the local organizations and activists who continue their critical work in these challenging times. The international community cannot stand by silently. Now is the time for solidarity and action. #HumanRights #LGBTQIA #QueerRights #EqualityForAll #SupportNGOs #InternationalSolidarity #ProtectHumanRights

What can charities learn from tech startups? Over nearly the last decade, I've given hundreds of interviews about the work of our multi-award-winning charity, the Naz and Matt Foundation. Now, for the first time, I discuss in depth the power of purpose-driven storytelling and what charities and non-profits can learn from startups. I'd like to thank John Higginson and Higginson Strategy for inviting me to their podcast, Communicating Purpose with John Higginson. I've enjoyed the privilege of working as a CEO in both worlds - tech startups and the charity sector. In both areas, the power of telling a strong, unshakeable story behind your brand is what will connect to your audience's heart and mind. By understanding and really harnessing your 'why', you'll be able to: - Attract passionate supporters who truly believe in your cause. - Inspire donors to open their hearts (and donate). - Build a team of dedicated volunteers who share your vision and mission. - Create partnerships that amplify your impact. But here's the most important point: It's not just about WHAT you do. It's about WHY you do it. Tech startups get this. They don't just sell products; they sell visions of a better future. Charities can learn from this approach. Supporters need to understand why you do the work you do. Why it matters. And why they should care. 3 key takeaways from my chat with John: - Never be afraid of saying the important things that need to be said, but always be respectful along the way. - To get coverage of your work in the news, what you're doing and its story has to be packaged as something "new." The news won't cover you unless it's "new." - Build a strong brand. Your brand is more than a logo. It's the emotional connection people have with your cause. It's the people behind the work you do, including the CEO, team, and volunteers. It’s the stories of the people you have helped. Your brand is one of your most important assets. Invest in it. Remember: Every charity has a powerful story. Your job is to tell it in a way that moves people to action.
