Donate to Equality!

Ways to Give

There are several ways you can contribute to Basic Rights Oregon’s mission of protecting and advancing LGBTQ2SIA+ rights in Oregon. Learn more below.

  • A gift to Basic Rights Oregon helps fight for equality for LGBTQ2SIA+ community members in schools, health care, housing and wherever Oregonians' rights are threatened. Donate here!

    Your donation also helps us pass life-changing laws, which recently include:

    • Expanding insurance coverage for gender-affirming care

    • Ensuring inclusivity in Oregon schools

    • Securing the gender-neutral "X" option on state IDs

    • Banning the "trans panic" defense in Oregon courts

    • Improving suicide prevention services for youth

     Contributions to BRO give our community the power to lobby for the changes we need. They are not tax-deductible. Donate here!


  • A gift to the Basic Rights Education Fund helps advance understanding of LGBTQ2SIA+ issues in Oregon, and empowers queer and trans Oregonians to lead our movement. Donate here!

    These gifts fund the following work:

    • Transgender Inclusion workplace trainings

    • Statewide outreach and our presence at Pride events across the region

    • Transgender leadership and spokesperson development programs

    Donations to BREF are an investment in a fairer, more equal Oregon, and they are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Donate here!

  • Basic Rights PAC helps to elect pro-equality candidates to ensure we're making a significant difference in statewide and legislative races. Contribute here!

    Basic Rights PAC has helped achieve the following:

    • Flipping LGBTQ-hostile school boards in swing districts

    • Maintaining a strong pro-equality majority in the Oregon Legislature

    • Increasing awareness of endorsed candidates, and helping them push back against anti-LGBTQ+ political attacks

    Individual contributions of $50 (or $100 for couples filing jointly) qualify for the Oregon State Political Tax Credit. Contribute here!

  • This year's Pride theme is “Saddle Up! Not our First Rodeo,” which signifies the countless times we have rallied together as a community to protect and defend the rights of LGBTQ2SIA+ Oregonians. It's not our first rodeo, and it won't be our last. But we are here to stay, and we will continue to fight for LGBTQ2SIA+ equality in Oregon. 

    Healthcare for Oregonians--and especially young, transgender community members--is under attack. Without your generous support, Basic Rights Oregon would not be able to continue this critical, life saving work.

    SIGN UP TODAY to donate $30 monthly and you'll help us meet our goal of $30,000 in recognition of 30 years in service to Oregonians. Your monthly contributions will fund priority work for 2026 as we work toward creating an equitable, accessible healthcare system for all. 

    If you sign up for monthly donations of $30, we will also send you a special 30th anniversary commemorative pin for Basic Rights Oregon. Thank you for your endless support of this work!
