Key takeaways

  • GiveOut's work fits best if your organisation is a grassroots LGBTQI group working on human rights, since that is what it funds, with a focus on the Global South and East.
  • Its published materials give no grant range, so do not assume a size and consider asking the contact shown in the annual report what a request could reasonably cover.
  • The charity publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to get in touch and explain your work, as it selects partners through consultation, due diligence and vetting, which suggests a considered, relationship-led process.
  • Organisations whose work is not LGBTQI-focused are unlikely to match what it funds.
