🌈 How Your Gift Fuels OPEN
2026 has been a tough year for LGBTQIA2S+ jobseekers. More people are turning to OPEN for support, and our services are costing more than we budgeted. Your gift helps close that gap so we can keep creating a confidence & connection journey for professionals across Dane County.

Give monthly:

• $550/month covers our Queer Empowerment Socials, which connects OPEN members with community partners for professional development and fun
• $150/month covers one annual OPEN membership for an early-career community member, with additional 1:1 support, connecting them to our growing network of affirming employers, career coaches, and professional talent

Give once:

• $5,000 covers the full support cost for one participant in TRANSFORM, our career development cohort for transgender and nonbinary young adults
• $750-$1,250 supports one of many new free services at 2027’s affirming career fairs, such as haircuts, make up, professional headshots, interview skills, trauma-informed coaching, and more.
• $100 covers an OPEN annual membership for someone who needs the community.

Give at a level that feels right for you. Every dollar helps us show up and glow up.
