Dear Velvetpark Reader,

Thank you for your interest in the Rainbow Card!

It's always been my long-held belief that progress in realizing LGBT human rights requires the participation of many people in many different ways. The Rainbow Card program is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to give back to the community. By applying for and using the Rainbow Card credit card you will not only earn reward points for yourself, but will also be supporting worthy LGBT causes at no extra cost to you.

Every time you use a Rainbow Card to purchase an item, pay a bill, book travel, dine, whatever, a portion of that transaction goes directly to the non-profit Rainbow Endowment that exclusively funds organizations providing social and health services, advocacy and educational information to the LGBT community.

And for net retail purchase, you also earn WorldPoints rewards redeemable for cash, airfare, gift certificates, brand-name goods, and other things that make your life more fun.

Support your community today by applying for and using the Rainbow Card! If we don't contribute to the fund-raising efforts that directly benefit gays and lesbians, then I ask - who will?

-Martina

How did the Rainbow Card start? Tennis superstar and gay human rights pioneer, Martina Navratilova was so inspired by the incredible strength and solidarity that she witnessed during her participation at the 1993 March on Washington that she felt the need to do more. She realized that the only way to create change and make a difference was to harness the economic power of the LGBT community and thus, two years later, she helped to launch the Rainbow Card credit card program. The Rainbow Card became a unique fund raising tool supporting the funding abilities of the Rainbow Endowment that exclusively supports organizations and programs benefiting and protecting the LGBT causes.

Now through the simple act of using a credit card, people can have a direct impact towards helping the LGBT community...at no additional cost to themselves!

What is the Rainbow Endowment? With less than 2% of all philanthropic dollars in the United States targeted specifically to the LGBT causes, the Rainbow Endowment has established itself as one of the nation's top funding sources to the LGBT community. Since its inception in 1996, the Rainbow Endowment has contributed more than $2 million dollars towards over 80 organizations and programs heroically serving and empowering our community in areas ranging from HIV/AIDS and breast cancer research and services to protecting civil rights of gays and lesbians to school violence to gay arts and cultural projects.
