Help Queer Stories Shine.

LOOK UP is an invitation to see what's possible when a community comes together.

Just as individual stars form constellations, every gift helps connect people, stories, and opportunities across Inside Out’s year-round work. Through Queer film, we bring audiences together, champion emerging 2SLGBTQ+ filmmakers, nurture the next generation of creators, and strengthen a  community.

Whether you’re looking up at the night sky, looking up at the big screen, or looking toward a more inclusive future, your support becomes part of something greater. Every donation helps illuminate new voices, create lasting connections, and ensure Queer stories continue to shine.

 

Ways To Give

Gifts of Securities
Give more while paying less tax. When you donate any public security (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds) to Inside Out you receive a tax receipt for the full market value and avoid capital gains on appreciated investments.

Payroll Contributions
Payroll contributions are an easy and convenient way to support Inside Out.
The United Way and Benevity are Canadian nonprofits that can collect donations of any amount directly from your paycheque – just like your CPP and EI contributions – and includes your end-of-year tax benefits automatically with your T4. Check with your employer to see if they support this program.

Matching Gifts from your Employer
You might be able to double your donation at no cost to you. Many major employers in offer programs that match or enhance charitable gifts made by their employees.

Bequests and Estate Gifts
Leave a legacy for the next generation of 2SLGBTQ+ artists and movie lovers with an end-of-life gift to Inside Out’s Legacy Circle.
A charitable gift in your last will and testament, known as a bequest, can be in the form of a sum of money, a specific property, a percentage of the residue of your estate, life insurance, or RRSP. This celebration of your legacy allows you to make a lasting impact at Inside Out while entitling your estate to charitable tax benefits.
If you are arranging a planned gift to Inside Out or wish to discuss your options further, contact Director of Development, Mark Aikman at mark@insideout.ca. We also strongly recommend you speak to your financial advisor or estate planner before finalizing your giving plans to ensure you have the best and most current information on the implications of your gift for your estate.
