Australia’s annual day of giving for LGBTQIA+ communities
What is GiveOUT Day?
GiveOUT Day is Australia's annual day of giving to LGBTQIA+ communities and causes. This year, we’re turning up the charm with Love Edition, helping you fall for a rainbow cause that speaks to your heart.
The official day is 16 October 2025, but donations are open now, and every contribution helps ensure LGBTQIA+ organisations have the resources they need to keep going. So whether you give a little or a lot, your support helps sustain the people and groups that make a real difference in our communities.
Choose how you want to get involved!
No matter your time or budget, there are lots of ways to get involved with GiveOUT Day and spread the love. You can donate, become a Fundraising Champion for your favourite LGBTQIA+ cause, or if you're a non-profit rainbow org, you can sign up!
“It was a safe space. I left feeling more confident in my trans body and am now considering visiting a public pool again.”
Last year, A Gender Agenda raised over $2,000 on GiveOUT Day
GiveOUT Day is Australia’s only dedicated day for LGBTQIA+ giving, created to address the chronic underfunding of our community’s organisations. On the third Thursday of October each year, the entire rainbow community unites to celebrate, fundraise, and champion the incredible work being done by 120+ LGBTQIA+ non-profits nationwide. All participating initiatives receive their own fundraising profile on the GiveOUT Day platform. Thanks to the generosity of philanthropic partners, public donations are matched dollar-for-dollar—doubling the impact for every organisation involved!
We are proud to share that for GiveOUT Day 2024, we raised a record $500,413!
Are you an LGBTQIA+ organisation or initiative that wants to take part in GiveOUT Day 2025? Although expressions of interest to participate closed August 11, if you'd still like to be considered please contact the team via the link below.
GiveOUT Day’s matched funding model democratises giving and ensures that the people with the best knowledge, connections and passion for the sector decide where the funding goes.
