Funding Our Freedom: How You Can Help Secure the Human Rights of LGBTIQ People Worldwide

Описание: They Cut $125 Million. But Our Movement Won't Be Stopped.

Join Outright International's historic $10 million "Funding Our Freedom" campaign to sustain LGBTIQ human rights worldwide in the face of unprecedented funding cuts.

THE CRISIS: Since early 2025, over $125 million in global LGBTIQ funding has been slashed, that's nearly 25% of the entire global LGBTIQ human rights ecosystem. Over 130 of the grassroots organizations we work with in 50+ countries face closure. Safe houses are shutting down. Emergency services are being cut. Frontline defenders are losing the protection that keeps them alive.

OUR RESPONSE: By June 30, 2026, we're raising $10 million to:
50% Regranting to Frontline Partners: Support for LGBTIQ organizations facing sudden shortfalls and heightened risk, including operational continuity, security needs, legal support, and essential programs.
50% Sustaining Outright’s Core Programs: Research, documentation, and advocacy that protects partners and moves systems, including work at the United Nations and other global bodies, so LGBTIQ people remain included in humanitarian response, development policy, and human rights mechanisms even when governments attempt erasure.

YOUR IMPACT:
💙 $50,000 keeps staff on payroll and revives economic programs for trans communities
💙 $100,000 preserves essential HIV treatment and prevention services
💙 $250,000 maintains emergency response and security for activists facing immediate violence
💙 $500,000+ drives lasting legal and policy reform across multiple countries

We hold deep relationships with local activists in over 100 countries and serve as a trusted advocate within the United Nations and major global forums. In just the last three years, Outright has distributed more than $7 million in grants supporting partner organizations across 113 countries, making us uniquely positioned to respond to this crisis with speed, expertise, and global reach.
