Out For Democracy: Put Your Money Where Your Goals Are


May 23, 2006

If I could transmit one message to the LGBT community for 2006, it would be this: Give Strategically. Don't simply donate to the organization that has the swankiest party or the slickest fundraising team. It doesn't matter whether you have $5 or $500 to give. Think long and hard about what goals in the LGBT movement are most important to you, and give to organizations that are moving those goals forward.

Inspired by the Gill Foundation's Outgiving program Juan Ahonen-Jover and his partner Ken Ahonen-Jover have created a new website to help you do exactly that.

eQualityGiving.org is based around a core set of eight goals for the LGBT Community. Visitors to the site can identify candidates, campaigns, and organizations that are working on the goals that are most important to them, and focus their donations accordingly.

eQualityGiving.org plans to continually evaluate candidates campaigns, and organizations based on what work they are doing to significantly move these goals forward. This information is made available through regular e-mail alerts.

Thes site has an impressive list of National Advisory Board Members including Kathy Levinson, Donna Redwing, and Jim Stork.

Be sure to check out the site at www.eQualityGiving.org.
