As GLAAD continues to grow the programs offering opportunities for members to change hearts and minds across the country and around the world, so grows the importance we place on our fundraising efforts. The more money we raise, the greater impact we have in communities across the country.
There are a number of ways to give to GLAAD; however, a monetary contribution directly to the organization will have a greater impact on enhancing GLAAD’s work throughout the country. Various methods of monetary giving are listed below:
Interested in making a donation in the name of a loved one? How about on an occasion of meaning such as a wedding, commitment ceremony, birthday, anniversary or holiday? Yes, GLAAD will gladly accept honor, memorial or tribute gifts. You can make a donation by credit card by calling the membership department below or you can simply enclose a check for the amount* you wish to donate and include a note indicating the individual’s name and contact information for the person or family member you would like to be notified of your gift.
For more information, please visit our Honor, Memorial & Tribute Gifts page. *Please consider a minimum donation of $20 to offset the extra charges associated with the honor, memorial or tribute gift processing procedure.
Annually, GLAAD receives over $80,000 in donations from Government Employees through the CFC. GLAAD’s CFC code is 11743.
Our yearly events are a great way for your company to get connected to high impact events while working to meet your marketing needs. The sponsorship programs begin with affordable buy-ins and can be tailored to fit your company’s goals. Contact Diana Rodriguez, Director of Corporate Relations & Special Events, at rodriguez@glaad.org for more information.
