Help LGBTIQ people and groups in Ukraine

As of December 10, 2023, Outright has distributed over $3.3 million through 142 grants to 44 local LGBTIQ-serving partners in Ukraine and surrounding countries that are delivering humanitarian aid to LGBTIQ people and pursuing critical advocacy to push for equal rights and protections. More than 82% of grants from Outright have been issued to groups in Ukraine. While Outright has supported several LGBTIQ groups outside of Ukraine that are working with displaced LGBTIQ people and refugees fleeing or that have fled Ukraine, we have prioritized groups working in Ukraine, where many LGBTIQ people remain.

Voices of Grantees

"We are ready to provide people with everything they need: accommodation, food, medical care, psychological support, if necessary, ARV or hormone therapy. We will do our best to support our peers who had to leave their houses because of war."

"Your involvement is empowering and inspiring - now we know for sure that we are not alone."

"I would like to thank you and Outright International for offering to help. It is valuable for us at this moment. We survived another night….we are alive and that’s what matters!"

"It is very difficult to predict how much food will cost soon under partial Russian siege of the city. But we hope your support will help us to survive."

"Thank you for your help in such a difficult time, we appreciate it and express gratitude from the trans* people of Ukraine. For the second week now, we have been using the funds of Outright International to help, and this is very timely. In addition to direct financial assistance to trans people's bank cards, we also help pay for mobile communications, food, water and hygiene products, all that is still left in our stores."
