Why Support the Human Rights Campaign?

Although the LGBT community has made great strides in the recent past, significant work still needs to be accomplished to ensure equality for every member of our community. In fact, the 2008 will be of the most critical years in recent history for LGBT people, with ballot measures that roll back hard-won rights, Constitutional amendments that prohibit marriage equality, and the presidental election in the Fall. Your individual support helps ensure that our community's largest advocacy organization continues to have the resources to advance our causes, protect our families, influence policy and provide information and educational resources about LGBT issues.

Support from businesses is also critical to HRC's ongoing advocacy efforts. By supporting HRC, your business not only demonstrates your commitment to equal rights for the LGBT community, but the LGBT community gives back to your business. Research shows that a majority of gays and lesbians prefer to buy from businesses that advertise directly to them.

Supporting HRC Helps You To:

• Build brand recognition and support in the gay and lesbian community
• Establish a competitive advantage with your customers
• Build relationships with like-minded leaders and lawmakers
• Make a statement on diversity and inclusion
