The Leather Heritage Project exists to preserve the stories, traditions, and cultural contributions of the leather and broader LGBT+ communities—while ensuring that this history remains living, accessible, and welcoming to future generations.

Your donation directly supports our work to document oral histories, produce our story keepers podcast and youtube channel, create educational programming, and build spaces—both physical and digital—where our history can be shared with care, respect, and pride. Much of our community’s history has never been formally recorded, and once it is lost, it cannot be recovered. What we do now matters.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us safeguard the legacy of a community built on honor, mentorship, service, and chosen family. By giving today, you are helping ensure that the stories of those who came before us are not forgotten—and that those who come after us know where they came from.

Thank you for helping us to preserve our history and welcome our future!
