Empower Tomorrow's Leaders with Your Support

As 2025 approaches, Reaching Out MBA is on a mission to raise $10,000 for our Student Access Fund—and we need your help now more than ever. We face a concerted backlash against DEI initiatives, and your support will empower diverse LGBTQ+ students to attend transformative events like our flagship ROMBA conference.

With an average stipend of just $500, we can help twenty (20) more students cover vital travel and accommodation costs, opening doors to invaluable recruitment and professional development opportunities.

Every donation is fully tax-deductible and has the power to transform lives and the face of executive leadership in corporate America.

Looking to make an even greater impact? Consider becoming a Major Donor and deepen your role in shaping the future of LGBTQ+ leadership.

Join us in this important work—please give today to help uplift the next generation of LGBTQ+ leaders. Together, we can make a lasting impact. Thank you!

Become a Major Donor

Below, you will discover the advantages and benefits to becoming or remaining as one of our top givers.

Be Visible: The best way to visibly support Reaching Out’s mission to educate, inspire and connect the LGBTQ+ MBA and broader business community is to donate publicly and share the message of why your support is important. This visibility increases as we issue our Annual Impact Report. Proudly displaying your complimentary Reaching Out merchandise is another way to remain visibly committed.

Give Back: A great way to show appreciation for all of Reaching Out’s services and programs is to give back by way of a meaningful donation. If the organization helped to educate you, connect you and/or inspire you, then you can give back by paying it forward to the next generation.

Stay Connected: This is an ideal way to stay involved with ROMBA post-graduation on a year-round basis. With complimentary access to a regional event of your choice and a special Reaching Out reception at ROMBA, being a Major Donor provides exceptional networking opportunities with other LGBTQ+ business professionals.

Any donor who achieves major donor status between November 1st and December 31st shall receive a full slate of benefits for the next year through the ROMBA Conference.
