#bi the steps
Almost every LGBT person, no matter how out and well-adjusted we may be, has turned to an LGBT nonprofit at some point in our lives … None of these organizations … can survive on good will and worthy missions alone. They need support to open their doors; to litigate and advocate and organize; to keep dedicated staff — even to keep the lights on. And for that, they need us — all of us.
1 in 20: We Can Do Better:The Horizons Foundation’s research shows that not even 5 percent of LGBT people give direct financial support to LGBT organizations. That’s just one in 20.Ifevery one of the 8 million+ LGBT people in the United States woke uponGive Out Dayand gave $10 — just $10 — that would mean $80 million to take care of our elders, to fuel the fight for full equality, to make sure that queer youth can navigate this still-tough world, to support all those with medical and mental health issues,substance use, violence, poverty, discrimination, and dozens of other challenges.
Give Out Day is a chance for all of us to be part of something much bigger than any of us.
We hope All Bisexual/Non-monosexual, SGL + Queer identified people will consider donating to helpfundyour own Bisexual+ Community.It doesn’t matter how much you give, or what you give, only that you give:
- Boston’s MA’s venerable Bisexual Resource Center
- American national organizing group BiNet USA

We probably don’t donate because we’re relying on these charities because we’re disenfranchised and broke as shit due to being LGBT
Seriously though, even US $5 would bring joy to the totallyoverlookedandunderfunded heavilyPoC + Trans/Gender expansive US Bisexual groups!
