GLSEN
EIN: 04-3234202
GLSEN is a national non-profit organization, working to create safe and inclusive K-12 learning environments for LGBTQ+ youth across the country.
Championing LGBTQ+ issues in K-12 education since 1990, we believe that every student has the right to safe, supportive, and affirming learning environments. We are a national network of advocates, educators, students, and local GLSEN Chapters across the U.S. working to make this right a reality.
Based on our extensive research, we know that:
- Nearly 82% of LGBTQ+ students have reported feeling unsafe in school because of at least one of their actual or perceived personal characteristics;
- 76.1% of LGBTQ+ students experienced in-person verbal harassment (e.g., called names or threatened) specifically based on sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender at some point in the past year;
- LGBTQ+ students who experience victimization and discrimination at school have worse educational outcomes and poorer psychological well-being.
However, there is hope. We know that students who feel safe and supported at school have better educational outcomes. In fact, LGBTQ+ students who have LGBTQ+-related school resources report better school experiences and academic success!Today, after more than 30 years of leading the movement, GLSEN’s national network is over 2 million strong, with students, families, educators, and education advocates working to create safe schools.
Every day GLSEN works to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. Together, we can transform our nation’s K-12 schools into the safe and affirming spaces that all youth deserve.

What impact will my business have
The profits your current processor retains become the source of funding for GLSEN. Your participation can bring us significant funding as there is no limit to the amount PridePays will fund us. The more business you do the more we get.
Merchant services fees are a given, with PridePays they are giving
How does participating affect my customers
Customers feel good patronizing a business that makes a difference all at absolutely no additional cost to them. They aren’t asked to round up, or make a donation. They might seek you out because they find your business on the map or hear about your support for GLSEN. In many cases they may be unaware they are making a difference for a cause you care about unless you choose to make it known.
Everybody wins with PridePays
How will this affect my payment processing
Don’t worry, there are no terms or cancellation fees. You won’t pay any more each month than you do already, and you will be making a huge difference for GLSEN.
There is no commitment to find out if this is a fit for your business. Give PridePays a chance to help you evaluate this opportunity. If you decide to support us, you will experience a seamless transition to PridePays. All of your payment options will continue to function as they do now, and your funds will be deposited into your business account just as quickly as before. Your rates will not increase, and in some cases can be lower.
For most equipment or software the transition involves a quick file download or updates to a few parameters. Some processors have proprietary equipment designed to lock you in. For these situations PridePays works with you to determine if there is a good solution. If so PridePays facilitates a seamless migration to hardware and/or software with the features you need. PridePays provides all types of equipment without the huge markups or leases that are common in the industry. In many cases equipment can be replaced free of charge.
Fees you already pay will benefit your community
Why PridePays
During their 25+ years in the payment processing industry, PridePays founding partners became frustrated with pervasive inefficiencies and disreputable practices associated with merchant services companies.
Having witnessed firsthand the need for greater services and support in LGBTQ+ communities, they sought a way to give back.
PridePays is a social enterprise that operates to transform lives with every transaction. There are no shareholders or investors motivated by earnings. There are no commission sales agents with disreputable tactics.
What’s left is expert staff motivated to provide the best service at the lowest cost so there is more to give back. Participating merchants decide where the money goes. Every month LGBTQ+ causes across the country receive funding for the important work they are doing. It’s a growing stream of recurring revenue to each cause helping to ensure their impact continues to increase; and it doesn’t cost the businesses a thing.
There is a provider of payment solutions that are different
Supporting GLSEN
