Dear Friends, Fans, and Funders:
Here at OutHistory Central, we’ve been hard at work thinking about our best possible fundraising pitches.
Do we emphasize that it’s PRIDE MONTH, when we commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion and celebrate all things LGBTQ+, including the world’s best website for our histories?
Remind you of the founding vision of Jonathan Ned Katz, who dreamed of a public forum for collaboratively generating and sharing high quality LGBTQ+ historical work?
Underscore the challenges that LGBTQ+ history is experiencing in so many places, in and beyond the United States, where our past successes have engendered backlash, harassment, and repression?
Focus on the positive, including LGBTQ+ history mandates for public schools in seven states, amazing new books and articles that address our history, and broader recognition for our historians?
Encourage you to check out our 200+ fabulous historical exhibits on a diverse array of fascinating topics, curated by students, faculty, and community-based historians?
Direct your attention to our updated new logo, the website’s improved functionality, the inauguration of our new quarterly newsletter, our fun social media posts, and the formation of our fabulous 20-person advisory board?
Celebrate the creation of the OutHistory Internship and OutHistory Fellowship Programs, which already are providing support to six deserving recipients thanks to the past generosity of our donors?
By now it should be obvious: we couldn’t settle on a single pitch because all of them all offer such compelling reasons for your support.
As we continue to make strides in developing OutHistory, we invite you to join us in this important mission by making a gift of $25, $50, $100, $500, or more. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in preserving, recovering, and sharing the stories of LGBTQ+ people and communities.
Thank you for your support and your commitment to LGBTQ+ history!
Historically yours,
Marc Stein
OutHistory Director
