Give OUT is the only national LGBTQ+ giving event in the U.S. Since 2013, this annual event has generated critical funds and increased visibility for hundreds of LGBTQ+-centered nonprofits across the country. 

Give OUT is a chance for nonprofits to rally their supporters and share how others can get involved in their work. 

Give OUT Day will take place for 24 hours on Thursday, June 5, 2025. The Give OUT campaign, however, will be open through midnight on June 30 so that organizations can continue to fundraise through Pride Month.

Instead of focusing on just one day of giving, we count all donations received through GiveOUTday.org between May 22 through June 30 as Give OUT donations. Early Giving for Give OUT 2025 begins on May 22, 2025, at midnight ET and closes on June 4, 2025, at midnight ET. This allows the LGBTQ+ nonprofits participating in Give OUT to have a longer fundraising period, generate more support for their causes, and give donors more opportunities to get involved.

GiveOUTday.org is the home of Give OUT! While you may use any platform to promote your Give OUT campaign, here are some top reasons to use GiveOUTday.org as your primary fundraising platform:

• Prize Grant Eligibility – only donations made through GiveOUTday.org are eligible to secure prize grants during Give OUT. Donations made on external websites, via cash, or via paper check are not eligible to win prize grants.
• Lower Fees – Did you know that 93% of donors cover the transaction processing fee when making a gift on GiveOUTday.org? That includes credit card and bank processing fees, too! Most organizations see a 0.5-2% effective fee, making GiveOUTday.org one of the most cost-effective fundraising platforms on the market.
• Donor Convenience – Many donors choose to make multiple donations during Give OUT. Using our “generosity cart” feature, individuals can make donations to several organizations all at once! Additionally, donors may access their tax-deductibility statements on GiveOUTday.org anytime so your team doesn’t have to worry about sending official tax-receipts (but we definitely encourage you to send thank you notes in whatever way is right for you!).

There are a couple different ways to access your organization’s page depending on your situation.

If your organization has never used GiveOUTday.org before, you’ll want to search the site and see if your organization already has a page on the platform. Most organizations that exist in the IRS database automatically have an organization profile page already created on GiveOUTday.org. To see if your organization’s page exists on our platform, try searching in the Search bar at the top of the website for your organization’s name or EIN.

Once you find your organization, you can request access to it by selecting "Manage This Organization" at the bottom of the page. Once you’ve submitted your request to manage your organization, our Help Team will review your request and verify your claim. 

If your organization already has a page on GiveOUTday.org but you don’t yet have administrator access, you’ll want to follow the same steps outlined above. However, if there are other staff or volunteers at your organization that have admin access to your organization’s page, they can log in to GiveOUTday.org, navigate to Settings > Admins and approve your request.

GiveMN does not provide matching funds for organizations during Give OUT. While matching funds are a great way to inspire your donors to action, it’s each participating organization’s responsibility to decide whether or not they want to use this strategy. 

If your organization doesn’t appear at all on GiveOUTday.org, contact our Help Team at support@mightycause.com. From there, our Help Team can walk you through the next steps to verify the tax-deductibility status of your organization and create your page.

If you know your organization already has a page, but you still can’t find it in search results, consider checking the following:

• Your organization’s display name – make sure the name at the top of your org page is spelled correctly and represents your organization accurately. 
• Other Names – at the bottom of your org page, navigate to “Organization Data.” If your organization is known by other names (i.e., HFH instead of Habitat for Humanity), you can enter alternate names here.
• Categories – make sure the categories associated with your organization accurately represent the type of work you do. These categories are based on pre-determined IRS nonprofit types.
• Discoverability – navigate to Settings > General Settings > Discoverability and make sure the button is toggled on. You always have the option to show or hide your organization’s page, so double check that it’s visible!

Welcome! We’re glad you’re part of our generosity community! The Give OUT team is offering a free-to-attend kickoff webinar on Wednesday, April 9, at 11 am CDT. Register for the webinar here or view it on-demand after April 9.

Yes, in addition to completing the Give OUT registration form, we also ask all participating organizations to complete a short to-do list. This includes uploading a logo image for your organization page, writing 50 or more words in your “About” section, setting up EFT, and customizing your Thank You page.

In addition, organizations who set up EFT disbursement will receive a special, early disbursement of funds raised after Give OUT and will not be subject to the $5 paper check fee.

Registration isn’t required to fundraise during Give OUT. However, organizations whose registration is not approved will not be eligible for Give OUT prizes or leaderboards.
