SXSW’s Post

Today is Giving Tuesday — a time dedicated to supporting nonprofits and community organizations. But honestly, I’ve been feeling uneasy about asking our community (specifically, LGBTQ+ folks) to give when I know resources are already stretched so thin. This year especially, with political changes on the horizon, many are navigating immense financial uncertainty. Instead of looking to individuals for support, larger companies need to take a hard look at their giving practices. Year-round intentionality in corporate philanthropy could make a transformative impact on grassroots organizations like BLACK ALPHABET NFP. This is also why it's critical to exercise our right to vote — especially when policies like H.R. 9495 are at stake. This proposed bill has the potential to undercut the essential work nonprofits do to strengthen government services and boost local economies. A vote NO is a vote to protect organizations like ours that uplift communities when no one else will. If you're in a position to give this Giving Tuesday, we’d love your support. But more importantly, we urge you to stay engaged, advocate for systemic change, and vote to ensure nonprofits like BLACK ALPHABET NFP can continue making an impact. 💙 thank you in advance for all that you do.

50.8% of trans men, 41.8% of non binary people, 29.9% of trans women, and 27.9% of those questioning their gender identity attempt suicide. These numbers reflect lives at risk—and we can change that. 💔 At Do Something: Identity(ies), we’re on a mission to provide the support, resources, and community that saves lives. But we need your help to continue this critical work. 💪 Your donation can make a difference. Visit DoSomethingIdentities.org to contribute today. Together, we can create a world where no one has to face this struggle alone. 🌈💖 #TransLivesMatter #NonBinarySupport #SaveLives #DonateNow #LGBTQPIA2S+ #TransRights #MentalHealthAwareness #DoSomethingIdentityies #VanEthanLevy

On Human Rights Day, we’re reminded of the importance of standing up for children and their right to a safe, healthy, and happy life. At Big Group Hug, we see the difference a supportive community can make. Every donation, every shared post, every volunteer helps us ensure that no child facing tough times slips through the gaps. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding these rights by supporting children in need in our community. If you stand for children too, show your support with a ❤️ or comment below! 📷: Bobbi Lockyer #HumanRights #Equality #SocialJustice #HumanRightsDay

Turn your frustration into action. It's Transgender Awareness Week - so I must ask... what are you doing to support the transgender community? Here are 4 things you can do: 👉Talk to your friends about the trans community. Share their stories. Humanize them to those who do not understand. 👉Check on your transgender friends. Practice the 90/10 rule. (90% listening and 10% speaking.) 👉Educate yourself. (I'm happy to provide resources) 👉Donate to an organization that supports the transgender community directly.

Last week we celebrated National Inclusion Week - a week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workplaces and communities. 🧡 As part of our ongoing commitment to making sustainable change that matters, our DE&I pillars focus on supporting individuals with disabilities, ethnic minority communities, and women in leadership—and we are proud to have supported several amazing causes that align with these values. 🔵 Sheffield Sports Commentaries We donated to help replace 30 digital receivers that provide commentary for blind and partially sighted football fans at Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United matches. 🔵 Muslim Youth Helpline (MYH) Our donation is helping towards the salary of a helpline officer, ensuring that their free, confidential service continues to provide emotional support and counselling to vulnerable Muslim individuals in need. 🔵 Ruskin Mill Trust Our donation helped purchase apple pressing equipment, empowering young people with special educational needs and disabilities to make and sell apple juice, which not only raises funds but has created a strong sense of pride and ownership for participants. 🔵 Kidney Research UK We supported their work with a donation to fund year two of their HIDDEN-CKD model, focused on reducing kidney health inequalities in Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnicities, and socio-economically disadvantaged communities. It's amazing to see how these contributions are already making a difference. We remain committed to our DE&I initiatives and will continue supporting causes that build more inclusive communities! 💪🏽💡 #DEI #NationalInclusionWeek #SupportingCommunities #Accessibility #MentalHealth #Leadership #DiversityMatters #Inclusion #ThrowbackThursday
