Queermunity is a small business committed to bringing the 2SLGBTQIA+ community together in Minneapolis. We’ll have a cafe and free lounge, as well as paid small and large meeting room rental and community-led programming. Plus we'll have discounted services through individual or group memberships that are open to families, community organizations, nonprofits, and businesses.

Our Progress:

📍Bryant Building: 3032-3038 Hennepin Ave Minneapolis, MN 55408
👥 Meet the team

Over the last few years, we’ve been securing funding and preparing to open Queermunity. We made major headway this year and chose the Bryant Building, as our home. After countless focus groups, panels, community surveys, and more, our team has a wealth of info on how to make Queermunity thrive. It’s essential that we get Queermunity up and running so that organizations can begin holding their meetings and people can start connecting.

Why Queermunity?

We need more places where we can just hang out together. That's why we started Queermunity – because we wanted a Queer-owned place where we could meet up and feel less alone.

Having a place where we can have fun, work together, and build a community opens up so many possibilities. We want to create more chances for us to connect in a space that welcomes all of us in the Queer community. That's why we're doing this. So, if you'd like to be a part of our mission to connect Queer people, to facilitate Queer joy and, in turn, wealth, consider contributing to our campaign.

Help Us Make Our Space Accessible

We want to make Queermunity accessible. Plus, we want to be super transparent about where your contributions will go towards and why. If we are asking you to come to Queermunity we want to ensure your safety, comfort, and creative freedom.

When you contribute to this campaign we’ll use the funds in this way:

$25,000 - Security

Enhanced security will include locks and software to support the staff in providing a secure environment for our community.

$50,000 - Restrooms

We already have gender neutral bathrooms. But, we’d like to renovate and add ADA finishings and build two more bathrooms to keep the building up to code.

$100,000 - Inclusive Environment

Imagine a birthday party and a business meeting happening a few feet away from each other. That could be annoying right? That’s where sound blocking, quiet rooms, and sound-proofing come in. Once we install these features people can work and play without distributing each other.

$150,000 - Furnishing & Interior Design

Comfortable, accessible, and adaptable furnishing / tools for mixed use. Upgrades will include accessible, quality, sustainable furnishings and light fixtures to accommodate various events and bodies.

$200,000 AV Equipment & Tech

Quality audio-sound technology and software will enhance community events and accessibility. Upgrades will include installing a surround sound system, 4K monitors, microphones, virtual event connectivity, projectors, and more.

Support Us:

To get Queermunity open means customizing the space that we already have. The Bryant Building was previously a advertising office, so it’ll need a bit of work. We need to invest in furnishings for the communal and rental spaces; audio-visual and security systems; materials for reading nooks and game nights; and tools to support community organizing and creativity.

A significant portion of these updates are for accessibility reasons. We aim for our space to be open and collaborative for everyone. This includes soundproofing and adjustable light fixtures for sensory differences, inclusive, quality furniture, and a variety of activities for all.

Each dollar you donate today will go directly towards funding the projects above. Please consider donating if you believe in building up the Queer community in Minneapolis. For every person who donates, we’ll write your name on our legacy wall; you’ll be a part of Queermunity from the very beginning.

Early Bird Membership Special: If you donate $30 or more, you'll be eligible for rewards including early membership access and exclusion access to events and more. You won’t want to miss this chance to get your Q-Pass!

If you can’t contribute right now, share our campaign so that others can support and share the love.
