18 fashion and beauty brands that are donating to LGBTQ organizations this Pride Month
Happy Pride Month! Although this year, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, our celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community may look a little different, one easy way to show your support is by using your shopping power to support the community. Thankfully, many clothing and beauty brands are dedicated to making that happen. Instead of simply emblazoning some rainbows on their products, these brands are making a difference by donating a portion of their proceeds to organizations and nonprofits that help the LGBTQ+ community. With funding, these organizations can make an important impact on the lives of so many people.
Now more than ever, it’s crucial to put your money where your allyship is. These fashion and beauty brands have committed to supporting programs like The Trevor Project, a suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth, and the It Gets Better Project, an organization that works to connect, uplift, and inspire the LGBTQ+ community.
Here are 17 fashion and beauty brands that are donating to LGBTQ+ charities for Pride Month.
