Donate to Equality!

Three Ways to Give

There are three different ways to 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 Equality 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!
