Get Involved
Like so many organizations, the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force relies on the generous donations of its volunteers and supporters to support our mission. On average, we require $800 per month to provide the basic necessities of shelter, food, and support for each asylum seeker. Your contributions make a real difference. There are many ways to contribute to the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force - we hope you'll join us in helping LGBT refugees find safety and security during their legal process. Below are just a few ways you can get involved.
