I have noticed a tendency of aro & ace projects which fundraise and then donate to a more general lgbtq+ org, which makes me think perhaps people are not really aware that there are various ace and aro groups which also rely on donations.



I think donating to a-spec organizations has more tangible beneficial effect on our community so I wanted to provide a centralized list with information to facilitate this and encourage people to keep these places in mind when considering lgbtqa+ advocacy groups to donate to. There’s typically good reception when there’s an active push for fundraising, but they do also accept donations all the time outside of active donation pushes.

These are groups which have online resources and advocate for the ace & aro communities either internationally or nationally in the United States.
