Hey there! Looking for some advice. My business mission is to help non-profit activist organizations that advocate for the LGBTQ community, racial equality, and neurodiverse communities. I'm here to support you and your mission, and I want to help you make an even bigger impact. How can I assist you best? Do you need more outreach, like internet marketing or raising awareness to attract potential donors? Or, are you looking for additional services, such as prospect research to find potential donors or increasing donations from current supporters? Is there anything else you need to reach your goals in supporting your mission? Thanks a bunch in advance!

🌈 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?

Did you know that many workplaces match their employee's donations to nonprofits? Sometimes they even match donations if someone from your household gives! This is a free way for you to double or even triple your impact to support It Gets Better. By doubling your donation and impact through a workplace match, you’ll help us connect with LGBTQ+ youth early, building their confidence and self-worth. With 73% of Gen-Zers saying they feel alone some of (or all of) the time, we foster connections and meaningful relationships to help LGBTQ+ youth better navigate the world around them. From funding 140+ student-led, school based grants to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ students around the country to helping the leaders of tomorrow advocate for their peers today through our Youth Voices program, It Gets Better is working toward a future where LGBTQ+ youth are not just surviving but thriving. Unsure if your company has a matching program? Ask HR or your Social Impact Team for the proper forms to complete your match. Questions? Message us! This small task can have a huge impact on LGBTQ+ youth around the globe.

Pride month question! Someone at a small charity has asked me: • We’d like to do something for LGBTQ History Month for staff. • We're a small charity. Unfortunately we have zero budget to pay a speaker. • We want to learn about how we can make our services feel like a safe place for everyone and to also learn about some of the challenges people in the LGBTQ+ community face when accessing services. • As we have zero budget to pay a speaker, can you recommend a video or podcast we could watch with the team? Ideas please! Can you recommend videos, podcasts or other media that they can watch as a team? Minoritised folks should never be expected to speak for free so I I am asking for media suggestions instead. Minoritised folks are already expected to live with oppression. We shouldn't also be expected to educate others by sharing our trauma for free. (One exception: if any LBGTQIA+ folks in my network are actively looking for unpaid speaking opportunities, because you have unused volunteering/pro bono hours for June, in which case I can connect you with the client). #LGBTQIA+
