About us
Supporting community-led solutions
Rainbow Giving Australia supports community-led solutions by mobilising funding, growing skills, and expanding the knowledge base about the funding needs across the LGBTQIA+ sector.
We believe that the LGBTQIA+ community sector is uniquely placed to improve outcomes for LGBTQIA+ people and communities. However, the sector faces key constraints of limited funding, constrained organisational capacity, and gaps in funder understanding.
By reducing these constraints, the sector will be better resourced, more sustainable and better supported. Their work, in turn, will better enable LGBTQIA+ people and communities in Australia to thrive.
-
Everything Rainbow Giving Australia does is grounded in community-informed strategy, shaped by the people, organisations, and movements driving change across the LGBTQIA+ sector.
Four strategic pillars and 16 strategic goals guide our work.
-
Rainbow Giving Australia operates through two connected charitable entities: Rainbow Giving Australia Ltd. (ABN 37 613 812 203) and the Rainbow Giving Australia Community Charity Trust (ABN 20 825 145 112).
Both are registered with the ACNC, with the Trust endorsed as a DGR-1 entity to support tax-deductible giving and long-term LGBTQIA+ philanthropy in Australia.
-
Rainbow Giving Australia helps strengthen the long-term sustainability, visibility, and resilience of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ community sector through fundraising, grants, partnerships, research, and sector-building initiatives designed to create lasting impact.
Just as importantly, RGA is committed to understanding and measuring that impact
-
Rainbow Giving Australia is powered by a small national team supported by volunteers, advisors, ambassadors, board directors, philanthropic partners, and community collaborators across Australia.
-
Rainbow Giving Australia is the result of a merger between GiveOUT Day and the Aurora Foundation—two powerhouses of the LGBTQIA+ sector that joined forces to amplify their impact.
