Smart giving to the LGBTQ community
You don’t have to have a lot of money to support the organizations that care for the most vulnerable among us, and if you can't spare the money, there are other ways to donate.
In this episode of Queer money® we encourage listeners to give back – in any way they can. We share why the queer community needs so much help, highlight the LGBTQ youth, transgender people, and seniors who need additional support, and provide insight into some of the national, regional, and local organizations dedicated to supporting the queer community.
Then we’ll talk about some of the best ways to give, from recurring donations to volunteering to building brand awareness. Hear the details of our commitment to giving time and money to the LGBTQ community and learn how developing a plan to give back will benefit you!
