This holiday season, ThatHelps has curated a holiday gift guide.  Each and every gift on ThatHelps’ list makes a meaningful impact for a cause you care about.  Even better: whoever receives one of these gifts will be thrilled to know their present did some good.

For the month of December, when you SHARE the gift guide with friends or family, WE donate to an organization helping the LGBTQ community.

Here’s how to help:

- Click the red “Join” button above.  Listed below are shopping options helping organizations supporting the LGBTQ community, along with a link to the entire ThatHelps holiday gift guide.  Share these with friends or family.

- When you click the red “Complete” button below, you’ll be prompted to let us know that you told others about the list.  

Then, we donate $5 to the It Gets Better Project*

On any given day, there are around 450,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. The average age of these children is 8 years old, and they can spend from two to five years, some never leave it.

Forty-one states have no protections against LGBT+ discrimination in this area, thereby adoptions don’t take place.
