OUT & PROUD
15 Years of CommUNITY & Belonging
Fifteen years ago, one workout became a community. That community became a movement—and that movement became The OUT Foundation.
For 15 years, OUT has helped create fitness, health, and wellness spaces where LGBTQ+ people can move, connect, and belong as their whole selves.
Today, the future of that work is at risk.
To honor 2026—our 15th-anniversary year—we have set an urgent goal: raise $26,000 by December 31.
Those funds will help sustain The OUT Foundation through this critical moment, protect the work our community has built, and help ensure OUT can keep showing up in 2027 and beyond.
This is the most urgent campaign in our 15-year history.
You built OUT. Now we need you to help sustain it.
2011 → 2026
SEPTEMBER 1–DECEMBER 31, 2026
15 YEARS OUT.
HELP US MAKE IT TO YEAR 16.
$26K FOR 2026
15 years behind us. Year 16 in our hands.

IT STARTED WITH A WORKOUT.
YOU MADE IT A MOVEMENT.
In 2011, a handful of LGBTQ+ people came together for one workout in New York City.
That workout became a community.
That community became a movement.
That movement became The OUT Foundation.
What started with movement has always been about belonging.
Fifteen years is a legacy worth celebrating.
But it is not a guarantee of what comes next.
But OUT was never built by one person, one program, or one organization.
You moved with us.
You opened your doors.
You made introductions.
You gave.
You showed up.
You helped someone feel like they belonged.
YOU BUILT OUT.
THIS IS MORE THAN AN ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN.
IT IS A CAMPAIGN TO SUSTAIN OUT.
The OUT Foundation is facing severe financial strain. Without immediate support from our community, our ability to continue this work is at risk.
At the same moment LGBTQ+ people—especially trans and nonbinary people—are facing new barriers to sports, fitness, health, and wellness, we cannot afford to lose spaces created for our belonging.
The next chapter is not promised. It must be built—and funded—together.
Your support will help sustain the organization, protect the programs and partnerships our community depends on, and ensure LGBTQ+ people can continue finding places where they are welcomed, affirmed, and free to move as their whole selves.
We need to reach our $26K for 2026 goal by December 31.
Every gift matters.
Every fundraiser matters.
Every person who brings someone else into this movement matters.
But we cannot do it without you.
15 Years in Motion
2011 — WE MOVED TOGETHER.
One workout brought LGBTQ+ people together through movement, connection, and the powerful feeling that we had found something worth building.
2017–2018 — WE BECAME OUT.
A growing community became a nonprofit—and officially began its next chapter as The OUT Foundation.
2019 — WE INVESTED IN PEOPLE.
OUT began investing more deeply in people, using movement as a pathway to connection, confidence, and belonging.
2023–2024 — WE BUILT FOR BELONGING.
We launched OUTAIM and our Inclusive Fitness Finder evolved, helping fitness spaces strengthen their inclusive practices and LGBTQ+ people find places committed to welcoming them.
2020 — WE KEPT MOVING.
OUTWOD became OUTAthletics, opening our work beyond one workout, one sport, or one kind of body.
2025–2026 — WE'RE STILL OUT.
New partners. New communities. New athletes. New ways to move.
Above all, the same unwavering belief:
LGBTQ+ people deserve access to fitness, health, wellness, and community without leaving any part of themselves at the door.
Still learning. Still building. Still showing up.
Belonging is a Team Sport
This National Coming Out Day—and throughout our 15th-anniversary campaign—we’re celebrating the same way we started:
BY MOVING TOGETHER.
PICK YOUR 15.
MOVE 15. Choose a movement challenge and dedicate it to belonging:
15 minutes of movement
A 1,500-meter walk or run
A 15-mile bike ride
15,000 steps
Any challenge that feels meaningful and accessible to you
GIVE 15. Give $15, $150, $1,500, or any amount that feels meaningful and accessible to you.
INVITE 15. Invite 15 friends, members, coworkers, or family members to move, give, share, or learn about OUT.
Choose one. Choose all three. Every action moves us forward.
Walk. Lift. Run. Ride. Dance. Stretch. Roll. Swim.
However you move, you belong in this movement.
Our goal is to bring 1,500 people together to move with OUT and help us reach $26K for 2026—one community coming together to protect the future of the organization we built.
WHO DO YOU MOVE FOR?
WE MOVE 15 FOR ____________________.
For the person still looking for their people.
For my trans teammates.
For younger me.
For queer joy.
For everyone who has ever wondered if they belong.
Tell us who you move for and share your story with #keepOUTmoving.
IF OUT HAS EVER MOVED YOU,
THIS IS THE MOMENT TO MOVE FOR OUT.
If OUT helped you find your people, walk through a door with greater confidence, reconnect with your body, or believe there was a place where you belonged, please help make that experience possible for someone else.
If you have moved with us, partnered with us, believed in us, opened your doors, made an introduction, shared our work, or cheered us on, we need you with us now.
Make a gift. Start a fundraiser. Invite someone in.
What we do together between now and December 31 will determine what comes next.
Give for the person still searching for their people.
Give for the athlete who deserves to feel safe and welcome.
Give for every LGBTQ+ person who has ever walked through a door wondering:
“DO I BELONG HERE?”
Together, we can make sure the answer remains:
YES. YOU BELONG HERE.
Help us reach $26K for 2026 and ensure our 15-year story does not end here.
