Audio effects company Soundtoys let us know that on 25 and 26, 2025, they will be donating 100% of all sales made to Lambda Legal, the leading US organization dedicated to the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and everyone living with HIV.
Customers who purchase any Soundtoys plug-in, bundle, or upgrade during the campaign period will help support Lambda Legal’s critical legal advocacy, public policy work, and litigation efforts across the United States.
Founded in 1973, Lambda Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education, and public policy work.
“We’re in the midst of an erosion and outright assault on freedom of expression, civil rights, and bodily autonomy, much of it directed towards those who are the most vulnerable,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer. “We strongly believe that diversity and our ability to live and express ourselves freely are one of our greatest strengths – especially within the music and arts communities. It’s easy to feel powerless these days, but supporting Lambda Legal is one small way we can all help to protect the freedoms that many of us take for granted.”
Over the years, Soundtoys has raised more than $815,000 for humanitarian and civil rights organizations, including support for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders, World Central Kitchen, the Red Cross Society of Ukraine, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Legal Defense Fund, Team Rubicon, Farmer Emergency Fund, Vermont Community Foundation’s Flood Response & Recovery Fund, and the Gulf Restoration Network.
To participate or learn more, see the Soundtoys site on June 25 and 26, 2025.
This is what companies should ACTUALLY be doing instead of just putting a rainbow in their logo
companies that were just putting rainbows in by and large aren’t doing it anymore because they weren’t committed and when the political winds changed they didn’t stick with it
Fierce !
Or they could try supporting the kids starving from famine in Gaza (and bombs) but i guess that’s a high risk low reward donation…
People can care about more than one thing at a time. Gaza is only one issue going on in the world right now. Plenty of people are donating to it now anyhow. A small company like Soundtoys donating would have almost zero impact at all if the fighting continues and aid keeps being blocked. This isn’t an issue a little money can solve.
The cause they’ve decided to support to will have a real, immediate, tangible impact on people.

Why only there? Many children in African nations starving and in war as well, should try to spread the love out.
But let’s feed just the last starving kids 🙂
i am genuinely impressed to discover that there are individuals who think independently rather than simply adhering to mainstream narratives—bravo! FP
Can’t even visit a plug-in site anymore… lol
As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+, please donate to starving children instead.
How about you do that and let them do their thing? They have absolutely donated to other groups in the past. It’s pride month.
I wonder how great the pride month is in Dubai this time of year
As one of the starving children, please donate to the LGBTQ+ instead
