Give OUT Day
FSC's Sponsored Project ZAMI
Nobla raises over $3,000
May 21, 2015
Give OUT Day is the national day of giving for the LGBTQ
community – a 24-hour online fundraising competition that unites the
LGBTQ community nationally to raise critically needed funds to support
the diverse array of LGBTQ nonprofits including community centers, arts
groups, organizers, clinics, student clubs, sports leagues and more. On
May 21, 2015 $800,000 was raised supporting 500+ community
groups across the country, including one of FSC's sponsored
projects: ZAMI
Nobla (National Organization of Black Lesbians on Aging).
ZAMI Nobla, based out of Atlanta, GA, is a national organization
of black lesbians on aging working through a social justice framework
to increase visibility and positive aging while fighting against
ageism; which supports black lesbians through community needs based
programming, education, social networking, advocacy, public policy and
research. Through this day of giving, ZAMI Nobla raised over $3,000.
Congratulations!

Establishing a donor advised fund and giving through FSC
means that you establish a giving program for yourself, your family or
your business that offers the following advantages.
- Permanence: A donor can
create an endowed fund with the knowledge that it will be managed
in perpetuity and that the gift will always serve a useful
purpose. Potential grantees are investigated and grants are
monitored by staff and the FSC Grants Committee.
- Recognition: By
establishing a named, permanent fund within the FSC organization,
a donor has an opportunity to honor a loved-one, friend or issue
area. Donors may remain anonymous if they so desire.
- Flexibility: A donor can
specify the particular charitable field-of-interest to which
distribution from his or her fund is to be made, designate that
grants are to be made only to a specific geographic area, or
advise FSC as to which charitable organizations should receive
grants.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact our
offices at 404.371.8484.
