About the organisations behind the project

The Aurora Group is a charity that raises funds to disburse to LGBTIQ+ organisations.

For more than 20 years, Aurora has existed so that people can support a broad range of projects responding to the frontline needs of LGBTIQ+ communities. The Aurora Group is community-led, with a long-standing grants program, and focuses on granting to the emerging areas of LGBTIQ+ community need.

Aurora organises unique fundraising events of celebration. These events, such as the Annual Aurora Ball, are important moments that not only raise funds, but also showcase the generosity, diversity and resilience of our community.

The Aurora Group also funds through giving and patronage programs.

GiveOUT is an LGBTIQ+ led organisation focused on increasing philanthropic dollars to rainbow communities.

GiveOUT achieves this through sector capacity building to increase financial resiliency, research and advocacy around LGBTIQ+ giving, and a national giving day (GiveOUT Day). 

Over the past 5 years GiveOUT has distributed over $1 million to over 100 LGBTIQ+ organisations.
