Bradley Angle extends compassion and care to LGBTQ+ people facing crisis this Season of Sharing 2024. "The nonprofit was founded in 1975, and was the first domestic violence shelter on the West Coast. The late Bonnie Tinker was the first founding director of Bradley-Angle House, as it was then known. The grassroots organization was named after Sharon Bradley and Pam Angle, two women who, as interim CEO Margot Martin said, "lost their lives on the street, because they were survivors of domestic violence who had nowhere to go.'"

Some thoughts I have about #PrideMonth this year and how organizations can support the LGBTQ+ members of key audiences.
At Slide Nine, we embrace diversity and inclusion not just as seasonal observances, but as pillars of our work culture. We proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just during Pride Month but every day. Through our unique philanthropy initiative, we empower our team members to make a difference by providing each with $1,000 to donate to causes of their choice that promote a safer, more equitable world. #HappyPride #Community #DEI

The humble journey of the Smiling Rainbow platform begins on February 19, 2019, with only one mission: SHARING PAIN MUST NOT BE EXPENSIVE. Over this period we have provided free counseling to thousands of individuals nationwide. Initially, our platform catered exclusively to members of the LGBTQ+ community. Over time, however, we began to receive inquiries and calls from individuals of various backgrounds. Based on our experience we have observed many trends in society, whereas few trends are ironic and on the other hand few are disturbing. In an attempt to spread awareness, we are going to share many such information in our #NoMotivationOnlyInformation campaign. The purpose of that series is simply to spread information in society instead of motivation. No one desires to succumb to depression. When individuals find themselves immersed in the depths of despair, all they seek is steadfast support to prevent them from sinking. We aspire to be that unwavering support, by offering a new, comprehensive platform that provides free or affordable counseling for all without discrimination. We did our best for years to ensure #FreeCounselingServiceForAll. Finally, we had to stop our free counseling service from August 2023 onwards due to a funding constraint. To resume our #FreeCounselingServiceForAll we need your support. Your generous contribution could bring much-needed relief to many lives.

Good morning and welcome to our second annual Family Equality Giving Day – which coincides with LGBTQ Families Day. This is a day to celebrate our families in all corners of the United States and we’ll do just that all day long. Family Equality is wrapping its arms around more families than ever before – providing them with a loving community, connection, resources, and education and protecting them through our policy and advocacy work. Start your day with this hope-filled video with messages from our families and, most importantly, our children! And then support our work by giving to our Family Equality Giving Day campaign.

It is so hard, especially when you're younger (and even moreso if you're neurodivergent and/or have mental illness), to truly be able and willing to put vulnerability and authenticity out there; but as Jaymes said, it is *vital* in the success of people-centered & mission-driven organizations. Having that touch of tangible humanity to help connect with your clients/customers/patients is so, so important - As a healthcare worker, working in home health and residential facilities, building rapport with elderly individuals who have spent their lives relying solely on themselves often requires deep authenticity and vulnerability - sometimes on the verge of being "unprofessional". Many face tremendous difficulty accepting help, even when it is clear from the outside that doing so would improve their quality of life. Whether due to past experiences that have caused trust issues or feelings of embarrassment at the thought of needing assistance for the first time, these individuals may struggle to allow themselves to be vulnerable. My role is to create a space where they feel safe enough to trust that receiving support is not a sign of weakness, but a step towards maintaining their dignity and independence. Healthcare is far from the only industry in which this approach is necessary. That touch of vulnerability and authenticity often bridges the gap between you being seen as someone strictly doing a job, and being viewed with, and for, the humanity you inherently possess.
Co-Founder of Social Driver, Chairman of National Digital Roundtable, Host of Chief Influencer Podcast
“How can you bring more of your humanity into your leadership?” This was the question The Trevor Project CEO Jaymes Black asked us to consider at the Social Driver executive retreat. What an awesome guest speaker! Jaymes told us that they used to perceive vulnerability and authenticity as a weakness but now they view it as a strength, especially in a people-centered and mission-driven organization. They also shared some great tips about running “Trevor Community Updates” - their all-hands meetings. We launched The Driver Foundation to reinvest back into the community and we recommitted to Trevor today with a donation to support LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. What a great way to kick off our annual planning!

It's essential to address the issue of gatekeeping in funding allocation within organizations claiming to serve marginalized communities. The practice of using the "T" in LGBTQ to secure maximum funding for trans individuals, while not effectively supporting or serving them, is DIABOLICAL WORK. Many cisgender-led organizations prioritize funding over genuine service delivery to the trans community, even though local Trans-led organizations are actively engaged in providing essential support and services. This disparity highlights the need for transparency and accountability in resource allocation. As a Black Trans ED navigating funding opportunities, being aware of these challenges is crucial. Upholding integrity and ensuring that resources reach those who need them the most is key to fostering inclusivity and equity within the nonprofit sector. #FundingEquity #TransRights #NonprofitLeadership
