DONOR'S GUIDE TO 
GIVE OUT DAY

Unlock your generosity superpower this Give Out!

Give OUT Day is the only national LGBTQ+ giving day in the U.S. This impactful annual giving campaign generates catalytic funding for LGBTQ+ organizations nationwide. At a time when the LGBTQ+ community faces rising attacks on our everyday existence, it is imperative that we support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ nonprofits that make our world a better place to work, live, and grow. 

Celebrating LGBTQ+ causes since 2013, Give OUT has collectively raised over $10 million thanks to the generosity of hundreds of thousands of donors who give generously as part of this campaign. Whether it’s your first time or your 100th time making a Give OUT donation, we appreciate you for investing in the causes that strengthen the LGBTQ+ community and open doors to opportunities. Your donations hold the power to make real and lasting change. By choosing to participate in Give OUT Day you are exercising your greatest superpower: generosity.

Step One: Find your passion

There are hundreds of incredible nonprofits on GiveOUTday.org for you to support! 

From advocacy and civil rights-focused organizations to arts organizations to health services and beyond, there are multiple impactful LGBTQ+ causes to support as they work to advance the things you care about most. Consider the following when deciding which organizations to support during Give OUT.

  1. Is there an organization you’ve worked with in the past? Or perhaps you, your friends, or your family have benefited from the services they provide. Share your gratitude by making a donation! 
  2. What causes are doing work in areas that you feel strongly about or that match your values? Try filtering your search by category to view organizations by the type of work they do.
  3. Is there an organization located near you that you’d like to support? You can also filter your search by location at GiveOUTday.org/search to view causes near and far! 
  4. If you live in a metro area, consider expanding your giving to support organizations in rural areas that are near and dear to your heart. Research shows that these rural communities receive a disproportionate level of funding and support than urban and suburban areas, and a nationwide giving day like Give OUT is a great time to support organizations that are working to help our rural communities thrive. Use the location and/or keyword search to find causes across the country.
  5. Did you know that LGBTQ+ causes only receive 0.16% of all philanthropic giving each year? In addition, LGBTQ+ causes that also center specific marginalized communities such as refugees and/or asylees, BIPOC communities, trans individuals, and more, receive even less funding. Use the filters on GiveOUTDay.org/search to find causes that focus on the communities that are nearest to your heart, and that typically face greater funding challenges.

Creating your free GiveOUTday.org account opens a world of possibilities to unlock your generosity.

While you aren’t required to create an account to make a donation, here are some key reasons to create your account and make GiveOUTday.org your generosity hub year-round.

  1. Tracking your giving. When you are logged in to your account, you can track all the donations you make through GiveOUTday.org. It also makes renewing your donations to your favorite causes easy, with just a few clicks to give again. Pro tip: when tax season rolls around, you’ll have all your donation records in one place! 
  2. Efficiency. You can give to multiple causes at the same time on GiveOUTday.org, which includes hundreds of LGBTQ+ nonprofits supporting communities across the U.S. By adding donations to your generosity cart, you can check out with one simple process instead of visiting multiple websites. 
  3. Managing your information and privacy. Creating a GiveOUTday.org account also allows you to save payment methods, so future giving is as simple as a single click! And GiveMN, the host of Give OUT, takes privacy seriously—we never sell or share any information about our users. 
  4. Organizing your monthly giving. You can also create and manage monthly donations through GiveOUTday.org to the causes near and dear to your heart. Not only can you start and stop monthly contributions, but you can also update your payment method and customize your donation amount.

Step Three: Start a "subscription for good"

16pxSpacer

One of the easiest ways to make a huge difference for your favorite nonprofit or school is to make a monthly donation!

Think of the subscriptions you pay monthly to access things like entertainment, services, food delivery, and more. By donating monthly to your favorite causes, you are subscribing to good, impactful things taking place in our communities! 

Monthly donations also help provide a predictable source of revenue, especially for small and medium-sized organizations that might have only one or two fundraising campaigns per year. Your monthly donation helps organizations be more sustainable and stable all year long!

To create a monthly gift, find the page of the organization you wish to support and click Donate. Then, select the option to make a "Monthly Donation" and enter how much you would like to donate each month.

Reminder: With your free GiveOUTday.org account, you can update or change your monthly giving anytime! Got a new credit card? No problem. Just update the credit card number saved in your account, and voila—all your monthly donations are automatically updated at the same time!
