International Gay Charity Giving

[fredv3b]

I try and give regularly to charity, I've recently been thinking about what charities I have given to in the past and what charities I might in the future. I realised that I would like to support gay rights organisations in other countries, particularly poorer ones. Does anyone have and idea what is the best way to do this?

Ideally, I could give a UK registered international charity that distributed money to various groups around the world. However as far as I am aware no such charity exists. I've looked at the websites of IGLHRC and IGLA, and they seem rather US based, I really want to support local activists, but perhaps I am being unfair. The other option I have thought of is scouring round the internet looking for websites of groups in different countries and trying to send them a cheque in the post, however that does not seem terribly efficient.

All thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Have you considered Amnesty International, Fred? They run campaigns in support of glbti causes in many countries.

Yes, I think Amnesty International would be a wise enough choice.
