GiveOUT invites you to celebrate GiveOUT Day on Thursday 17 October with us at the new Inner West Pride Centre, with our wonderful host Mon Schafter! This event will bring together LGBTQIA+ communities, donors and supporters for a jam-packed hour of delicious (free!) lunch, a fire-side chat, fabulous LGBTQIA+ trivia, entertainment from Daddy Annie and a reading of our poetry/song competition winner. Attendees will also have the chance to win a $500 cash prize towards their chosen organisation!

🏳️‍🌈 What is GiveOUT Day?

GiveOUT Day is Australia’s annual day of giving to LGBTQIA+ not-for-profits and initiatives, designed to address the shortfall in funding to our beloved and much needed community sector. GiveOUT Day is a blend of both crowdfunding and peer-to-peer fundraising, where donations made by the public are doubled by our philanthropic partners. In addition to increasing funding to LGBTQIA+ organisations, GiveOUT Day is also about celebrating and raising awareness of the incredible work of the LGBTQIA+ community sector.

👯 Who is this event for?

You! This includes staff and supporters of LGBTQIA+ community organisations, fundraising champions, GiveOUT Day donors, funders and anyone interested in learning more about GiveOUT Day and the incredible work of our LGBTQIA+ community sector.
