Our Purpose
Our Vision
An empowered, sustainable, and united rainbow community sector.
Our Mission
We support community-led solutions by mobilising funding, growing skills and expanding the knowledge base about the funding needs across the LGBTQIA+ sector.
Our Values
Our values are the foundation of everything we do. They guide our decisions, shape our programs, and inspire us to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. We are committed to upholding them in every aspect of our work.
LGBTQIA+ community-centred - Our communities know what we need to thrive; that’s why they’re at the heart of everything we do.
Reliable - We build and keep a foundation of trust, based on honesty, openness and getting things done.
Courageous - In honour of those whose shoulders we stand on, we are brave in challenging the status quo.
Equitable - We fight for equality for all, prioritising the communities that need us most.
Collaborative - We’re stronger when we work together. We create shared solutions and inspire a movement around our vision.
Our Strategic Pillars
Funding
Grow funding to LGBTQIA+ community organisations and initiatives.
Capacity Building
Build the capacity of the LGBTQIA+ sector to resource itself.
Expanding the Knowledge Base
Advocate for more funding to LGBTQIA+ causes.
The generosity of these two organisations has helped Equality Australia achieve a raft of legal and social reforms for LGBTIQA+ people in NSW and across Australia.
We’re excited to see what this next chapter will bring. Rainbow Giving will alleviate the daily resource challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ organisations in an acutely under-funded sector and help build a stronger movement for equality across Australia.
