Following Sunday’s horrific attack at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, LGBT advocacy group Equality Florida established a GoFundMe page to raise money in support of the victims and their families.

“Funds raised on this page will be going directly to the victims and families affected by the shooting at Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub,” a statement on the page reads. To ensure that funds are dispersed speedily and fairly, the organization is working with a “team of attorneys and experts” including the National Center for Victims of Crime, who previously deployed funds in both Chattanooga and Aurora.

“Gay clubs hold a significant place in LGBTQ history,” reads a statement the group released early Sunday morning. “They were often the only safe gathering place and this horrific act strikes directly at our sense of safety…We stand in solidarity and keep our thoughts on all whose lives have been lost or altered forever in this tragedy.”

As of this writing, the organization has raised $4,238,596 of their $% million goal. To donate, visit the page, here.
