The Gift of Belonging

Nov 22, 2024

With your support, we can give even more 2SLGBTQI people the greatest gift of all – the gift of belonging.  

We all need the support of others. We all need somewhere we feel we belong. But we are still living in a society where many 2SLGBTQI individuals have nowhere to turn for a sense of belonging. 

Help us continue to create a world where all persons are equal, and none is other. 

Donate to Egale, or leave behind a legacy and help us give the most important gift of all. The gift of belonging.

How your donation makes a REAL impact

With your generous support this holiday season, Egale will be able to continue improving the lives of 2SLGBTQI people through our REAL approach to inclusion and belonging.

Research

Research is the foundation of our work and informs everything we do at Egale. Centering 2SLGBTQI experiences, our research is community-based, participatory, and action-oriented. The reports we publish are used nationally, and often globally, to create positive change for 2SLGBTQI people.

Research

Education

Education is essential in building more inclusive and accessible spaces for 2SLGBTQI people. Leveraging the research data, we create educational products and resources in order to enable change, particularly in schools, workplaces, healthcare, and justice sectors.

Education

Awareness

Our awareness initiatives and campaigns elevate the voices of 2SLGBTQI communities and draw attention to some of the most pressing issues in order to inform and inspire the general public to begin their own journeys in inclusivity and belonging, starting with our educational resources.

Awareness

Legal Advocacy

Our legal advocacy work aims to protect 2SLGBTQI people in policy and legislation at all levels of government and beyond. This complements our research, education, and awareness initiatives to ensure the work we do has lasting impact.
