Ways to give money
The main way to give
Double your impact for LGBTQ+ youth
Every $50 you give can become $100. The Louis and Gloria Flanzer Philanthropic Trust matches personal gifts, including monthly gifts.
You will finish your gift on the Flanzer Trust’s secure site. The Trust sends your gift and the match to ALSO Youth.
Give & double your giftGive monthly
Give as much as you like. The Trust matches personal gifts up to $500 a month and $3,000 a year for each household. Anything above that still goes to our youth programs. Business gifts, event tickets, raffles, and memberships do not qualify. The Trust decides which gifts are matched. Read the Trust’s terms
Join the Inner Circle
Monthly gifts can be doubled too, and monthly givers join the Inner Circle.
Give through Qgiv
For business gifts and other gifts the match does not cover. Give once or monthly through our secure Qgiv page.
Give stock
Gifts of stock are welcome. The instructions are in a short PDF.
