While some of these items are donating a selected percentage of profits to these charities, a few others are donating every penny towards their cause. That's right: All of the Pride merchandise below will benefit organizations dedicated to helping the LGBTQ community, as many brands and retailers are participating in the celebration this month by releasing limited-edition Pride collections - and better yet, contributing a portion of their sales to established LGBTQ+ organizations such as GLAAD, The Trevor Project, and The Ally Coalition.

The campaign is part of H&M’s “Love For All” collection, which features a range of athleisure-inspired apparel, pool shoes and colorful accessories.
