Overview

Mission

Our mission is a commitment to equity and quality of life for all lgbtq+ people through community building, health and human services, and economic, social, and racial justice advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Harm reduction/opioid overdose prevention - programming that provides supportive services and resources to people who use substances, including a naloxone training and distribution, a syringe service program, and additional supplies for self-care and harm reduction. Our program also provides information and referral services to recovery centers and treatment options with a focus on reducing deaths from opioid overdoses. Through this program we distributed hundreds of supply kits that include naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other harm reduction supplies as well as other HIV prevention and safer sex supplies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
