How is COVID-19 impacting your organisation's budget?

The COVID-19 pandemic is raising unprecedented challenges for LGBTI activists, who quickly need to adapt their work to a rapidly changing environment. These processes might impact not only your workload and ability to carry our activities, but also your financial situation.

We are hearing from many groups and organisations about a loss of income, either due to the withdrawal of funders or due to cancellation of Prides and other events, including those generating donations and other income.

At ILGA-Europe we strive to support the work of the LGBTI movement in many ways, including by advocating for resources that meet the needs of LGBTI movements and communities. To enable us to have a clear message for institutions and funders, we would like to have better understanding of how COVID-19 is having an immediate impact on your income.

We would like to ask you to fill in this short survey to give us a first glance into where and how your financial resources are changing. The survey is eight questions long and should not take you more than ten minutes to fill in.

Please share this link with the person who in your group or organisation is responsible for budget or financial management and share your insight with us by Sunday, 26 April at 24:00 CEST.
