Support OUTMemphis!

Graduate students in the University of Memphis course PADM 7646 Philanthropy, Nonprofits, and Social Change, are raising funds for OUTMemphis. OUTMemphis is a nonprofit organization providing critical information, resources, and services to the LGBTQ community for the past 33 years.


OUTMemphis is dedicated to creating an inclusive world where everyone can live authentically. Join us in making a difference by contributing to our fundraiser. Your donation directly impacts the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, providing crucial resources such as mental health support, housing, education, healthcare access, and employment opportunities. The power of your contribution goes beyond dollars; it supports programs that empower the local queer community and contributes to a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone.


Recent anti-LGBTQ legislation has fueled discrimination and hate crime violence against the LGBTQ community, leading to increased depression, suicide rates, and a lack of access to quality healthcare. OUTMemphis actively addresses these challenges, offering financial assistance, emergency food, housing, and advocating for positive social change. Your donation supports essential programs, including financial literacy workshops, HIV testing, PrEP provision, recovery groups, and emergency housing. By contributing today, you provide someone with access to shelter and life-changing opportunities while supporting OUTMemphis's advocacy against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, ensuring the safety and well-being of the LGBTQ+ population. Be a change agent today! Thank you for donating to this great cause and organization.
