"While giving by younger generations is of great interest to the field, few studies have focused on this subset of wealthy, predominantly female donors, many who identify as queer or part of the LGBTQ+ community. For those who wish to grow social justice giving, the full report shares details on these donors’ motivations, behaviors, and challenges." Thanks to Savannah Turner for bringing this important report to my attention! #socialjustice #fundraising #youngdonors https://lnkd.in/eaY8M4w4

It's essential to address the issue of gatekeeping in funding allocation within organizations claiming to serve marginalized communities. The practice of using the "T" in LGBTQ to secure maximum funding for trans individuals, while not effectively supporting or serving them, is DIABOLICAL WORK. Many cisgender-led organizations prioritize funding over genuine service delivery to the trans community, even though local Trans-led organizations are actively engaged in providing essential support and services. This disparity highlights the need for transparency and accountability in resource allocation. As a Black Trans ED navigating funding opportunities, being aware of these challenges is crucial. Upholding integrity and ensuring that resources reach those who need them the most is key to fostering inclusivity and equity within the nonprofit sector. #FundingEquity #TransRights #NonprofitLeadership

Some thoughts I have about #PrideMonth this year and how organizations can support the LGBTQ+ members of key audiences.
At Slide Nine, we embrace diversity and inclusion not just as seasonal observances, but as pillars of our work culture. We proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just during Pride Month but every day. Through our unique philanthropy initiative, we empower our team members to make a difference by providing each with $1,000 to donate to causes of their choice that promote a safer, more equitable world. #HappyPride #Community #DEI

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate diversity, and inclusivity, as well as highlight the ongoing fight for equal rights and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. We are proud to stand with and support the incredible work of Mermaids, a charity close to our hearts. Mermaids is dedicated to supporting transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families. We believe that embracing and empowering all members of the trans community is crucial for any organisation, regardless of the industry. This is why we are honoured to fund Mermaids’ local group activities, which create a safe space to celebrate and uplift the community. Jo and the Thornicroft family have felt the benefit of the amazing work of this charity first-hand. The care they have provided, and their unwavering support have been a huge help and immeasurable comfort in such a turbulent and troubled time. We strive to support them, as they have us, in the hope they will be able to continue their important work and care for other families just like ours. Mermaids also helps businesses to improve their support of LGBTQ+ employees and customers through essential resources and CPD-accredited training. If you're interested in learning more about Mermaids' training courses and how to foster a more inclusive environment within your organisation, check out the link here: Training - Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk) #Mermaids #PrideMonth #Community #Inclusivity #Equality

The essence of the Christmas season lies not just in the twinkling lights and festive decorations, but in the warmth we share with one another and the acts of kindness that define the true meaning of Christmas. This season, we invite each of you to embrace 'The Gift of Giving.' In a world that is constantly evolving, it is crucial that we ask ourselves what we can do to contribute positively to the lives of those around us, especially our LGBTQ+ siblings who may face unique challenges. Our proposal is simple yet profound: let us make a difference by directing our Christmas spirit towards the support of local grassroots LGBTQ+ organisations. These grassroots entities operate tirelessly, addressing critical issues such as homelessness, providing a listening ear and emotional support, uplifting the Black Trans Community, guiding our young people, and offering solace to asylum seekers. By supporting them, we are not only contributing to the betterment of individual lives but also fostering a sense of community and acceptance that resonates far beyond the holiday season. This year, we encourage you to consider a gift that goes beyond the tangible – a donation to these organisations that form the backbone of support for London's LGBTQ+ community. Your contribution sends a powerful and meaningful message of care, compassion, and inclusion during a time when togetherness matters the most. It is a way of saying, "You are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone."

LGBTQ+ led and serving organizations are chronically under resourced. According to Funders for LGBQT Issues’ Grantmaking by US Foundations Report, for every $100 awarded by US foundations in 2021, only 28 cents specifically supported LGBTQ communities and issues; foundations allocated less than 4 cents per $100 of their total giving to trans communities and issues. These numbers are alarming, but they speak to the lack of investment in LGBTQ+ led and serving work - Which is why organizations like ours are so reliant on community donations! Please join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives and futures of systems-impacted trans and queer people this Give OUT Day! https://lnkd.in/gzupHnkN
