Thanks to All Out members’ incredible generosity, we have already managed to bring key life-saving help to Ukrainian LGBT+ people on the ground in Ukraine, Poland, and Romania.

All Out wants to make sure that all donations from All Out members around the world are used in the most strategic and direct way to help Ukrainian LGBT+ people.

To this end, we have set up an LGBT+ Ukraine Fund and an Advisory Group made up of representatives from Insight Ukraine, KyivPride, and Lambda Warszawa to advise on the most strategic way to disperse the remaining funds – about US $140,000.

The frontline activists on the Advisory Group will help to ensure that your donation reaches LGBT+ people who are suffering, in danger, or refugees because of the war in Ukraine.

After the invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, LGBT+ and rainbow families, as well as human rights defenders, are facing imminent danger. Many are trying to flee the country. 

LGBT+ people were already vulnerable before the attack, and are now even more at risk of human rights abuses by Russian troops. Escaping is difficult, and the conditions are chaotic. 

Kyiv Pride, Insight, and other partner organizations are providing support to help get LGBT+ folks safely out of the country and provide critical resources to those who must stay. 

The next couple of days are crucial. Every donation will help save lives and provide protection.

Help local LGBT+ organizations on the ground provide safety, shelter, and support to Ukrainian LGBT+ people now!
