Aurora & GiveOUT have merged to form Rainbow Giving Australia! rainbowgiving.org.au 🌈

The Aurora Group is a charity, raising funds to disburse to LGBTIQ+ community organisations. Aurora exists so people can donate to a broad range of causes that benefit the community. It is the fund raising organisation people choose when they want their money to benefit the community as a whole and not just one specific cause.

Our friends at the Sydney Gay and Le***an Business Association (SGLBA) first held an LGBTQIA+ owned and operated business fair in the ‘80s - and in 2024, they are doing it again! 🥳

🌈 Buy Rainbow 🌈 is the only business fair in Sydney to exclusively platform and feature LGBTQIA+ owned and operated businesses, and we can't wait to support and celebrate all of it!

📍 Held at Paddington Town Hall (the first home of the Aurora Ball!) on October 19. See you there!

💥🌈 Happy International Le***an Day! 🌈💥

Today (and everyday!) Aurora and GiveOUT are shouting out to the powerhouse le****ns who’ve been at the forefront of LGBTQIA+ activism, building organisations, sparking initiatives, and fighting for a better future for all of us! 💪💜

From the beginning, le****ns have been relentless in paving the way, standing up for equality, and creating safe spaces for the entire community. Their passion, resilience, and commitment are the foundation of so many of the rights and organisations we have today. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈

At Aurora and GiveOUT, we celebrate the legacy and ongoing impact of le***an leaders, past and present. Let’s honour their contributions today and every day, and keep building a future where all LGBTQIA+ voices can thrive. 🌸💥

🎉 Last night, Aurora was honoured with the prestigious 🌈 Community Organisation Award 🌈 at the ACON Honour Awards! This recognition is a testament to our mission of empowering LGBTIQ+ communities through philanthropy. For over 25 years, we've backed community-led initiatives—and we have exciting plans for the future.

But here's the reality: only 5c of every $100 donated to Australian charities goes to the LGBTIQ+ sector, even though we still face systemic barriers to equality. We're changing that, and YOU can help.

As our incredible Chair Sam Turner (she/they) shared: since launching the Amplify Pride Fund just 2 years ago, we've invested almost half a million dollars in the rainbow community. Next year, we are aiming for $1 MILLION!

🚨 Now is the time to ACT! Help us fund life-changing organisations on the ground. Click https://loom.ly/lEF4ajI to donate and make a difference today!

Huge thanks to ACON and the Honour Awards, and congratulations to all the amazing nominees and winners. We’re proud to stand with you! 🌟
