For many LGBTQ+ residents – especially Transgender and Nonbinary individuals, and community members who are People of Color – we are the only safe and affirming place to turn.
Last year alone, we served 15,544 individuals across our county.
Without the Pride Center, who we risk losing:
-
-
- Mental health counseling
- Gender-affirming services
- Service provider education and training
- Emergency food and housing support
- Community connection and peer support
-
We are urgently seeking:
-
-
Emergency Financial Support. Bridge funding and direct contributions to help sustain immediate operations and protect continuity of care.
-
Foundation and Institutional Partnerships. Early investment to help stabilize services and catalyze broader long-term support.
-
Government Partnership. Collaboration in identifying sustainable funding pathways and preserving essential community infrastructure.
-
Community Connections. Introductions to philanthropic partners, sponsors, and aligned networks.
-
Physical Space. Access to low- or no-cost office, clinical, and community programming space.
-
This is a defining moment for our community.
With your support, we can protect these life-saving services and ensure
LGBTQ+ residents continue to have a safe place to turn.
