Dear John,

Families are the building blocks of life: the ones we grow up in, the ones we choose as we get older, the ones we form at work, school, and safe spaces like LGBTIQ centers — and the ones we belong to because we are accepted within.

But right now, too many members of our extended global LGBTIQ family are living in great peril and danger.

These family members and many others are urgently asking for our help. And that’s why I’m asking you to support Outright International today.

Please join our 2024 Pride Matching Gift Challenge with a generous gift today! All donations will be matched up to $25,000 to help tackle the threats facing our global LGBTIQ family.

Your generosity will provide resources, training, support, and targeted programs to strengthen local leadership, advocacy, infrastructure, and other crucial support to LGBTIQ communities struggling to find ways to band together safely.

The tools you’ll make possible will strengthen our global movement’s ability to collectively combat oppression, become more visible, and assert our humanity and dignity.
 

Thanks to our $25,000 match, you will double your impact and help energize Outright and our global partners by funding the most urgent opportunities for change.

Since our founding in 1990 as the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Outright has worked with LGBTIQ organizations and groups to fight for safety, human rights, and equality — from the floors of the United Nations to communities all over the globe.

What better way to celebrate Pride — and our own families — than by supporting our extended family around the world with a generous contribution to Outright International?

Remember, every dollar you give will be matched up to $25,000.

In solidarity,


Maria Sjödin (they/she)
Executive Director
Outright International

P.S. Our work relies on donors like you — global citizens who embrace our family members wherever they ask for help. Please give today!
