David Rayside, The ArQuives monthly donor

I’ve been a monthly donor since 2012, and was a regular contributor long before that. I think every Archives supporter should consider joining our monthly donor ranks.  It’s easy to do, and it really helps The ArQuives plan for the future knowing that they have a sizeable core of regular contributors. I am one of many who believe profoundly in the work of The ArQuives.  I know how spectacularly they have grown since the early days when I first started donating material and money.  I can see close up how much difference they have made in generating public awareness of LGBTQ history. The majority of the support that the Archives receive is from individuals, with some contributions from project grants and sponsorships.  It’s very easy to become a monthly donor – I use a credit card.  If you are already a monthly contributor, you might want to consider increasing the amount you give by $5.00 or $10.00 a month. Help the Archives grow, and help them keep even more of our stories alive!
