GiveMN Takes the Reins to Host Give OUT Day for LGBTQ+ Initiatives Nationwide

GiveMN to Host Give OUT Day: A New Era for LGBTQ+ Giving

GiveMN, a prominent nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering generosity and encouraging donations, is excited to announce its new role as the host of Give OUT Day, the nation’s only LGBTQ+ national giving event. This annual celebration, slated for June 5, 2025, serves as a vital platform for raising funds and increasing awareness for LGBTQ+-focused organizations across the United States.

Building on a Strong Legacy

Previously, the Horizons Foundation organized Give OUT Day for nine fruitful years, securing over $10 million for LGBTQ+-themed nonprofits. The transition to GiveMN is an essential next step to ensure that the legacy instilled by Horizons continues to thrive. Jenna Ray, interim executive director of GiveMN, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to expand upon the solid foundation laid by Horizons, emphasizing that this day aligns perfectly with GiveMN's commitment to community-driven generosity.

The Mission of Give OUT Day

Scheduled for the first Thursday in June, Give OUT Day is not just a fundraising initiative; it is a unified call to action. It seeks to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ organizations by providing them with the necessary resources to advocate effectively and to protect the communities they serve. Ray highlighted the importance of this day in helping ensure that LGBTQ+ groups can access the community support they desperately need, especially in these challenging times.

Expertise in Fundraising

With over 15 years of experience hosting Minnesota's acclaimed Give to the Max Day—one of the pioneering state-wide charitable events in the country—GiveMN is well-equipped to steer Give OUT Day towards success. Since its establishment in 2009, GiveMN has raised more than $430 million for over 14,000 nonprofits and schools, showcasing its reliability and expertise in managing giving events. Participants in Give OUT Day can anticipate a seamless fundraising experience, enhanced visibility, and expanded donor networks thanks to GiveMN's established framework and the Mightycause fundraising platform.

A Critical Time for LGBTQ+ Organizations

As LGBTQ+ initiatives often face funding discrepancies compared to broader causes, the leadership transition to GiveMN arrives at a pivotal moment. The focus will remain on ensuring that Give OUT Day not only grows but magnifies its impact across communities, reinforcing the need for continuous support during a period marked by increasing societal challenges.

Save the Date: June 5, 2025

Mark your calendars and prepare to engage! The next Give OUT Day on June 5, 2025, during Pride Month, will bring together donors, supporters, and LGBTQ+ nonprofits in a notable event aimed at creating visibility and fostering connections within the community.
