Amplify Pride Fund won the Community Philanthropy Award!
GiveOUT and Aurora are delighted to announce that last week at the NSW Art Gallery, Amplify Pride Fund was awarded the Australian Community Philanthropy Award! Thank you to Philanthropy Australia and the selection panel for this recognition.
Amplify Pride Fund was founded in 2022 to address the chronic underfunding of rainbow communities. It provides the LGBTIQ+ sector larger, more sustainable funding and the philanthropy sector a tangible opportunity to be a part of the change. We are by community, for community.
Thank you to the Snow Foundation for making this possible, our other funding partners including Paul Ramsay Foundation, Brennan Lynch Foundation, and our generous community donors. Congrats to our wonderful grantees – this win is for you!
Your invitation to join GiveOUT as a Patron
GiveOUT Patrons are a select group of passionate individuals who share our leadership, values and vision for thriving and equal LGBTIQ+ communities. Our Patrons form the backbone of our movement, with each Patron making a tax-deductible annual donation to support our core work and operations. The impact of core funding is far reaching - it increases our financial sustainability, amplifies the good we do, and provides the security to plan for big term wins. In return, the GiveOUT team will work hard to achieve our goal of mobilising $1 million for the LGBTIQ+ community in 2024 and growing this each year.
You will join our other committed Patrons who have been a part of our journey for several years. Thank you to our current Patrons, including Tanck, David Lane, Eastbourne Fund, Dennis Altman and Cat Fay.

Perpetual | ADVISING | Insights on Funding capacity costs and spotlight on cyber security
Pereptual’s Philanthropy Snapshot for 2024 found key challenges faced by NFPs and the communities they serve, including increasing costs and rising demand, skilled staff and volunteer shortages, and challenges in mitigating cybersecurity risk.
What does this mean for funders of the LGBTIQ+ sector? Funders can play a pivotal role in building NFP resilience by investing in organisational capacity (e.g. through united funding for operational and people costs).
What does this mean for the LGBTIQ+ sector? Cyber security is essential for all not-for-profits, with cyber threats on the rise. Make sure to use multi-factor authenticator and a reputable password manager with different complex passwords, and educate staff and Board on how to recognise scams.
Thank you to our generous partners who support GiveOUT's work.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@giveout.org.au.
With love,
The GiveOUT team
