Matthew Shepard Foundation (US) Donate
OUR MISSION
To encourage respect for human dignity and difference by raising awareness, opening dialogues, and promoting positive change.
Straight But Not Narrow (US) Donate
There have been a number of great campaigns and charities that have recently emerged to show support to gay youth & teens. However, we noticed one significant niche missing in the efforts. the message to the young, straight male. Its an unfortunate reality that most of the bullying and harassment that gay teens face comes from them. It is for this reason that we are building a campaign that is primarily directed to the young, straight male by using comedy and their peers to positively influence their views on LGBT teens.
Rainbow Delegation (US/Inter) Donate
The rainbow delegation is a rapidly growing movement. Our goal is to demonstrate our support for the LGBTQ community. Our group is diverse, encompassing people of all ages, races, and sexual orientations. The rainbow wristband is a visual, powerful, and recognizable symbol. We wear these wristbands, not for fashion, nor as a fund-raiser for any particular agenda, but rather simply to be seen. They reach out to youth desperately needing to feel that they belong.
All Out (Inter) Donate
We are organizing online and on the ground to build a world where every person can live freely and be embraced for who they are. Gay, lesbian, bi, transgender or straight, we need you to go All Out to build this historic movement for equality.
