Today is GiveOUT Day! This year, PFA are raising money on behalf of LGBTI Community Ageing Network in Sunshine Coast for their 'It's My Decision' community workshop series.

Feeling safe and having some control of your future is something our older community have huge concerns about. It keeps us up at night! But there is something we can do. Get our affairs in order.

Through our ‘It’s My Decision’ community workshops, our older audience will be empowered to commence Enduring Power of Attorney, Will, Advanced Health Directive, and Statement of Choices to ensure they feel safe and remain empowered should the future not go as planned.

Your donation will ensure these invaluable workshops are able to go ahead, and more ageing LGBTQIA+ Australians are afforded agency and dignity their golden years.

With dollar matching, your donation will be doubled. (Limits apply.)

Thursday is GiveOUT Day, and this year we're raising funds on behalf of LGBTI Community Ageing Network - a group based in the Sunshine Coast making sure their ageing q***r population don't get left behind.

Together, we're fundraising for a workshop series that helps ageing LGBTQIA+ community members sort out their Future Planning documents—ensuring their wishes won't be forgotten about should something happen.

So far, we've only raised $615 of our $5k target, which means we need your support to reach our goal.

Your donation of $2 or more is tax deductible, and will empower a q***r ageing person to plan for the future with support and confidence.

Plus, with matched funding from GiveOUT, your donation is doubled!

Only half of Australians have a valid legal will in place. For LGBTQIA+ Australians, there are some pertinent reasons why writing a Will, no matter your age, is important for ensuring you and your loved ones are looked after should anything happen.

In 2024, we began our partnership with EveryWill, Australia’s most-trusted provider of free online wills, to bring our supporters easy access to a free, online will.

If you choose to write your will with EveryWill, you’ll be asked if you would like to include a gift to Pride Foundation Australia, or any other charity. These gifts are transformational for PFA. They ensure we’re able to protect the work we do for generations to come, ensuring the continuation of grassroots funding to improve the lives of LGBTQIA+ Australians.

There is no obligation to leave PFA a gift. You can still take advantage of this offer, and put an estate plan in place to support those closest to you. We hope you do.
