At Badoo, as part of Bumble Inc., the desire to help create a kinder, more equitable world has always been our north star. Supporting our LGBTQ+ members, workforce, and partners is critical to our mission.

LGBTQ+ people have long faced hostility and violence, both online and off.

Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to step forward as dedicated allies, committed to championing LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

This June, Bumble Inc. is launching a program of allyship that will continue well beyond Pride Month. This will include donations to LGBTQ+ equality organisations across our worldwide markets in the coming months. As we launch this initiative, we are entering into a year-long partnership with the Human Rights Campaign, one of the largest LGBTQ+ advocacy organisations in the U.S. Along with a financial contribution, we will be working with HRC to share actionable advice with our members and provide training and education for our workforce. We will continue to develop and roll out a number of further initiatives over the course of the year.

Our program extends beyond work with nonprofit organisations. Bumble Inc. will encourage allyship across our platforms and workforce through education, partnerships, and celebration. Stay tuned to learn more about our efforts to create a kinder, more equitable world, both online and IRL.
