Pride Month is in full swing and there are few better ways to celebrate than to uplift the intersections of LGBTQ+ giving and the nonprofit work we do! To help us, this new infographic summarizes the 2024 LGBTQ+ Index Report by Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. This report dives into a decade's worth of data (2010-2021), highlighting how global events like COVID-19 and shifting support have impacted LGBTQ+ organizations. Discover key insights on funding disparities and challenges, and learn how nonprofits and philanthropists can help bridge the gap. 📊 🌈📚 Read the full report here: https://hubs.li/Q02C41bk0 #LGBTQ #Philanthropy #Nonprofits #Inclusion #Impact

Faerfield is proud to celebrate Pride 2024. Supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community is more than just changing your company logo. It’s about actions and commitments that make a difference – here are just a few that you can do to get involved. 🌈 Attend Pride celebrations: most cities in the UK have their own Pride celebrations between May and September. Head along – they’re a lot of fun. 🌈 Allyship: be vocal about your support – use inclusive language, challenge stereotypes and stand up against discrimination. 🌈 Volunteer or donate: you can also contribute to LGBTQ+ charities and organisations, either through donating financially or your time. 🌈 Self-education: learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology & issues; about the challenges faced by the community and about the progress that has been made. Keep an eye on the Faerfield page for more information on how we’re celebrating Pride this year. However you’re celebrating, we hope you have a fantastic time. #faerfield #equality #lgbtq+ #recruitment #inclusive #pride

As allies, advocates, philanthropists and corporations celebrate #Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ month, it’s important to lift up the intersectional nature of the #LGBTQ community. Queer people are not only Black, brown, white, AANHPI, Gen Z, old, wealthy, or under resourced. Millions of LGBTQ people also live with disabilities (both visible and invisible) — and instead of overlooking disabled people, let’s make an effort to elevate and equalize by: 1) Donating to organizations that work within the community 2) Intentionally including disabled people in your Pride marketing campaigns 3) Centering disabled queer voices in your messaging this month…and all year long. #DEI / #ESG / #Media / #ERG / #Marketing folks: If you are looking for a great grassroots organization to support and partner with, check out Arkansas Support Network (ASN). It’s an amazing non-profit in the mid-South empowering close to a thousand people in the disabled community with the ability to make decisions and direct their lives — including those who are LGBTQ 🏳️🌈. Their work is making a difference on a local, regional, and national level. If you want more info on the org, would like to become a partner, or make a Pride donation that will truly make a difference, connect with ASN CEO, Dr. Syard Evans. (Also an acclaimed speaker on disability inclusion…you’ll be glad you invited her to your corporate or policy event).

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.

Being an LGBTQ+ ally is about helping to create an inclusive environment where everyone can be themselves. The most recent data from the Stonewall ‘LGBT in Britain Work Report’, found that 35% of LGBTQ+ staff have hidden that they are LGBTQ+ at work, for fear of discrimination. Concerns about being treated differently keep many from being out at work, but allyship increases comfort in being out. Here are some ways you can be a better ally to LGBTQ+ community at work👇 ❤️ Listen 🧡 Educate yourself 💛 Be visible in support 💚 Be mindful about “outing” 💙 Avoid assumptions 💜 Challenge homophobia 💗 Support LGBTQ+ charities 🖤 Uplift marginalised voices To donate to Stonewall Housing, you can do so via our Just Giving link here: https://lnkd.in/ehUQn2NQ Stonewall Housing are the leading charity in the UK, supporting LGBTQ+ people experiencing homelessness or living in unsafe environments. #ProudToBePRIMIS

🌈 I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month 😮💨 I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated — and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. 💔 It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. 💪 We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. 👉 Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ✨ Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think. Do you feel the same?

June marks Pride Month, a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. The fact that we celebrate in June is not insignificant - it coincides with the date of the 1969 Stonewall riots, widely credited as the catalyst of the Queer Liberation movement. Many countries have made great strides towards LGBTQ+ equality - but this has not been a globally consistent, or linear, path. Many Queer people are still subject to immense discrimination and injustice, and many Governments have or are seeking to introduce legislation which will roll back some of the progress that has been made towards equality - including in some of OC&C’s geographies. It is for this reason that we commemorate Pride - to celebrate the progress we have made as a society, but also to raise awareness of the inequality and discrimination LGBTQ+ people face daily. At OC&C, we look forward to hearing from our colleagues and clients about their journeys as LGBTQ+ people, and fundraising for our charity partner Just Like Us as well as other charities.
