The holiday season often stirs people's generosity to give a gift that embodies the spirit of the holidays by helping those in need. 

Consider a truly memorable and special gift, but remember this is the last week to give in 2005.  While many charitable donations are tax-deductible, as always, consult your own tax or financial advisor before making any personal financial decisions.

Investing in a local GLBT charity, is investing in our community and making a contribution just got easier as several charities have gone online to accept donations. Your online donation is safe, secure and helps support the issues and causes you care most about.

This list will help you better plan your online contributions.  We recognize this is a partial list of the numerous organizations helping our community.

We're happy to provide this list and urge you to support these local community groups with your volunteer time and contributions.  We recognize this is a very small list of the many wonderful charitable organizations throughout Chicago.
