PINK makes end of year $100,000 gift for Giving Tuesday; Campus Pride raises $122,000 in total for LGBTQ youth

Campus Pride is pleased to announce that our Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign was a huge success thanks to the 81 people who donated more than $22,000 to support our work to build future leaders and create safer, more inclusive communities for LGBTQ students on college campuses. 

A special thank you to our donors

We’d like to give a special thank you to PINK by Victoria’s Secret for donating $100,000 to Campus Pride and encouraging their audiences to support our work for Giving Tuesday. And another special thank you to drag queen Buff Faye’s Drag Brunch & Diner and Campus Pride Board Treasurer Scooter Ward for providing a $10,000 matching gift.

Altogether, Campus Pride supporters gave more than $122,000 during this year’s Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign. The money we raised will go directly to supporting LGBTQ students and advisors across the country with resources and training to make positive changes on their campuses.

Giving back beyond Giving Tuesday

Our work doesn’t stop after Giving Tuesday. We rely on support from donors and volunteers like you to make Campus Pride even prouder. If you’re still in the giving spirit this season, you can donate now at campuspride.org/donate. To learn more about volunteering with Campus Pride, go to campuspride.org/connect/volunteer/.

From all of us at Campus Pride, thank you for continuing to support us as we continue to work toward campuses free from anti-LGBTQ bigotry, hate and discrimination.
