Thalia's Fundraiser for Equality Virginia!

Happy Pride Month! Thank you for visiting my Equality Virginia fundraising page for Give OUT Day. 

I’ve been incredibly proud to work at Equality Virginia for 3 years, first as a program coordinator, then as a program director. EV has offered me the chance to work with incredible individuals across the state, particularly transgender and non-binary leaders and advocates! As a facilitator for the Transgender Leadership Coalition, I have seen our communities build statewide community, share knowledge, and shift tactics. 

As a coordinator for the Transgender Advocacy Speakers Bureau, I’ve seen the impact of our storytelling advocates to change hearts and minds, build support for the community, and deepen understanding at over 50 presentations in every corner of Virginia. At our Transgender Information & Empowerment Summit (TIES), I have the honor to see hundreds of trans, non-binary, and allied Virginians come together to put on a statewide conference, make lifelong connections, find resources, and leave empowered. 

We will continue to build on these successes to increase our community’s power and bring about transformative change in LGBTQ people’s daily lives. Please give a small $10 donation to support this life-affirming work!

The best part about Give OUT Day is that it isn’t about raising the most money, but engaging with the most people through unique donations* of $10 or more. Each unique donation is counted towards our goal, and the non-profit in our category with the most unique donors will receive a $10,000 grant on top of what we already raise! Last year, EV placed in the top 3, but this year we are hoping to make it to 1st place. 

This means your donation of $10 or more can help us secure a place in the top three and qualify EV for the additional grant money. Thank you so much for contributing!
