Stand with the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month

Every June, Pride Month is a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, honor the activists who fought for equality and acknowledge that the work is far from over. LGBTQ+ individuals around the world still face discrimination, violence and barriers to basic rights — even as acceptance grows. For companies committed to equity and belonging, Pride Month is an opportunity to move beyond symbolic support and take meaningful action. 

Use the ready-made resources in our Pride Month activation kit to easily create a campaign that drives participation, fosters inclusion and inspires your workforce to give back to the LGBTQ+ causes that need their support.

Giving opportunities

How to use this content: You can use these templates to create a giving opportunity for Pride Month. We’ve created giving opportunities for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. The text is broadly useful for different programs and is flexible and adaptable so you can customize it for your program and regional needs.

United States:

Celebrate Pride Month in the United States

Make June a time to recognize and support LGBTQ+ causes.

According to a recent survey, about 9.3% of Americans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual. Among the Gen Z population, the number climbs to 1 in 5. That means most of us have friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances in the LGBTQ+ community. Every year, Pride Month in June reminds us that intolerance still exists, and many LGBTQ+ people continue to face barriers and obstacles in their everyday lives.

Nobody should be afraid to express their true selves, and nobody should be excluded from opportunities because of their identity. These are core principles of many nonprofit organizations who are working to ensure that rights are protected, misunderstandings are overcome and identities are celebrated rather than rejected. You can help them in their efforts by supporting this Pride Month giving opportunity.
