Ring OUT! Fill in the Rainbow

Rainbows are built one color at a time.

Communities are built the same way—one person, one act of support, one shared experience at a time.

This June, Ring Out! is inviting you to help us Fill In the Rainbow. Throughout Pride Month, every donation will help color in our campaign rainbow and bring us closer to our $4,000 goal.

Founded in 2024, Ring Out! is the Twin Cities' LGBTQIA+ handbell ensemble—and one of the first of its kind in the nation.

We exist for ringers and audiences who want a musical home that doesn't ask them to leave part of themselves at the door. By making handbells accessible and welcoming to all people, we build supportive community, encourage creative collaboration, and foster musical excellence.

As we enter our third season, we're looking ahead to an exciting year of growth and new opportunities. Your support will help us:

🌈 Send 14 Ring Out! members to the Area 7 Festival, where they'll learn from renowned directors, connect with fellow musicians, and bring new ideas and inspiration back to our ensemble.

🌈 Launch our new logo and visual identity, helping us share our mission with more people and strengthen our presence in the community.

🌈 Hopefully Kickstart a new program this fall, creating new opportunities for connection, creativity, and belonging through handbells.

Handbells have long lived inside church walls. Ring Out! carries them beyond those walls—into community spaces, Pride celebrations, and places where people can show up fully as themselves.

Every donation fills in another piece of the rainbow. Every contribution helps create a future where LGBTQIA+ musicians know they belong, where artistic excellence and authentic community grow together, and where more people can experience the joy of making music.

Together, we can fill in the rainbow—one gift, one ringer, and one note at a time.
