International LGBTQI charity GiveOut is excited to be bringing together our community and allies in Germany to support global LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex) human rights activism.

Around the world, LGBTQI people face discrimination, violence, and other serious human rights abuses simply for being who they are. Courageous activists are undertaking vital work to protect and improve LGBTQI lives, but they lack resources and funding is fragile, especially in the Global South and East. LGBTQI groups receive a tiny fraction of international development aid – just 0.04% of funding provided by governments. The LGBTQI community and allies want to provide support, but it is not always easy to do so.

GiveOut’s purpose is to help address this urgent need by bringing together our community and allies, providing a way for them to give in one place to support global LGBTQI equality. The donations we receive are used to provide grants and other support to LGBTQI organisations worldwide, ensuring they have the resources they need to defend our communities, tackle inequalities and campaign for lasting change.

Launched with two events in Berlin at the end of 2023, the GiveOut Germany Circle brings together the LGBTQI community and our allies in Germany to support GiveOut and the global movement for LGBTQI human rights. GiveOut will regularly update members of the Germany Circle through our newsletter and virtual events, and will hold annual in-person learning and impact events in Germany.
