Dear John, It’s time to Give OUT! We are so excited to kick off Give OUT Day 2021 alongside many incredible LGBTQ organizations across the state and country. Last year, your unbelievable generosity earned EV a spot on the top 3 Large Southern Organizations leader board, which qualified us for an additional $3,000 grant that helped to grow our advocacy, programming, and outreach work. This year, we’re going for the gold! The unique part about Give OUT Day is that it isn’t about how much money we raise, but about how many individual donations over $10 we receive throughout the month. That means that a small donation from you, your friends, and family helps to put us ahead on the leader board, qualifies us for an additional grant reward, and ensures that your donation will go further. You can show the strength of Virginia's LGBTQ community with your $10 gift. Here's how: Please plan to give at least $10 between now and June 30th to help us reach our goal and secure an additional grant reward. We are excited to show the nation, once again, how committed Virginia's LGBTQ advocates are. Thank you in advance for your support! In solidarity, Mario Guevara P.S. This is a friendly competition between LGBTQ organizations across the state, for every $10 donation you give to EV we hope you will consider giving to other organizations in Virginia particularly those that support LGBTQ Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Middle Eastern and North African, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities.
