GiveOut’s Pride with Purpose campaign champions businesses that are marking Pride by supporting the movement for LGBTQI human rights worldwide.
The campaign is underpinned by a report of the same name developed in partnership with Boston Consulting Group, Goldman Sachs and Latham & Watkins, which provides recommendations for businesses looking to be better global allies.
Pride events and flying the rainbow flag are great ways for businesses to celebrate progress and show solidarity with their LGBTQI staff and the wider community. But to help those around the world facing discrimination and violence on a daily basis we need to do more. We are asking businesses to mark Pride by supporting LGBTQI activists and their organisations defending our communities and campaigning for equality in the most difficult places to be LGBTQI.
More than ever, as the world seeks to 'build back better', corporate support for equality is crucial. If ever there was a time for businesses to support the LGBTQI movement worldwide - to mark Pride with Purpose - it is now.
About GiveOut
We are an award-winning international LGBTQI community foundation enabling our community and allies to give in one place to support LGBTQI activism worldwide.
Across the world, courageous activists are doing vital work to protect our communities and improve the lives of LGBTQI people. But they lack resources and funding is fragile, especially in the Global South and East. LGBTQI groups receiving a tiny fraction of international development aid – just 4p in every £100 awarded by governments.
Our community and allies want to provide support, but it is not always easy to do so. GiveOut’s purpose is to help address this urgent need by providing a platform for our supporters to give tax efficiently in one place to fund LGBTQI human rights activism worldwide. We identify pioneering groups to support through a rigorous process of consultation, due diligence and vetting, guided by our Grant-making Advisory Panel and governed by our Board of Trustees.
We pool the donations we receive to provide grants to LGBTQI organisations around the world, ensuring they have more of the resources they need to defend our communities, tackle inequality and campaign for lasting change.
