Today’s the first day of Early Giving for Give OUT Day 2025, the only national LGBTQ+ giving day in the U.S! Help close the staggering funding gap for LGBTQ+ nonprofits, which receive less than 0.3% of all philanthropic giving in the U.S., while supporting accessible housing, healthcare, crisis support, and more for the LGBTQ+ community nationwide. Every donation you make during Early Giving (May 22 to June 4) is a chance for an LGBTQ+ organization you care about to win a daily $150 Early Giving Golden Ticket. Amplify your impact and give to an LGBTQ+ cause you care about: giveoutday.org (fb)
