Fund our Folks!

It's time to invest in our communities.

Out in the Open connects rural LGBTQ people to build community, visibility, knowledge and power. We know that LGBTQ people have a critical role in the work toward our collective liberation. We are dedicated to our values of anti-racism, embracing intersections, connections, and rural experiences, while celebrating resistance and queer joy along the way.

We are strong together.

This can only happen when we work together.  You help build movements with us and organize for social change. Your support allows us to create programs in accessible virtual spaces to foster connection and joy during this isolating time. Your contributions make it possible for our community members to access greatly-needed resources, and we are here for you to request the resources you need as well. In this spirit of mutual aid, and with your help, we can continue to offer these Community Care programs, and more:
  • The Rural BIPOC/LGBTQ+ Mutual Aid Fund: distributes funds directly to rural Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color and other LGBTQ+ folks in rural New England who are struggling in this time,
  • Rural QTBIPOC Binder Give-ways: providing free, unique, custom-made undergarments from Shapeshifters, in a variety of fun prints and complexion-matching tones to rural QTBIPOC folks nationwide 
  • Rural Trans & Queer health justice community activism initiatives fighting for accessible access to affordable, affirming and anti-racist healthcare and resources for community members that are marginalized within our current systems.
