Funko has announced the first wave of its new Pops! With Purpose Pride Collection, with more to come, available exclusively at Funko.com. Proceeds from the latest Pops! With Purpose collection will benefit the global nonprofit organization, the It Gets Better Project, which has a mission to uplift, empower and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youth around the globe. The first collection includes a new lineup of Pops! featuring the cast of Netflix’s hit series Queer Eye. Funko will donate $10 for every Queer Eye Pop! sold.

“Funko is committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and the Funko Cares programme is a vital component in making that support possible,” said Laura Olson, senior director ESG. “We are proud to continue our partnership with the It Gets Better Project and look forward to future collaborations.”

“Funko has been a dedicated supporter of the It Gets Better Project for several years and we are excited for the partnership to continue with the Pops! With Purpose Pride Collection,” said Ross von Metzke, director of Communications and PR for the It Gets Better Project. “Having the support of partners like Funko is critical to our efforts to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ youth.”

Pops! With Purpose is a part of Funko Cares, a charity initiative that gives back to the community through both monetary and product donations. Funko Cares has partnered with Make-A-Wish, ASPCA, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Operation Homefront and more.
