Overview

Mission

We aspire to reduce health & social disparities and the disproportionate negative outcomes of discrimination for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse people via education and programs which encourage the conditions for safe and affirming services, spaces, relationships and communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Center - A collaborative space for LGBTQ+ people of all ages and genders. A resource hub to bring together LGBTQ+ people for opportunities, events and projects to socially connect.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
