Help LGBTQ+ People Begin Their Parenthood Journey Informed and Empowered

At GWK Academy, we believe every LGBTQ+ person who dreams of becoming a parent deserves the support, guidance, and resources to make that dream a reality — without barriers or bias.

But the journey to build and protect LGBTQ+ families isn’t always easy — and right now, it’s more important than ever to show up for our community.

Across the country, we continue to see:

Limits on access to trans-affirming healthcare, including fertility care
Efforts to restrict LGBTQ+ people from adopting or fostering
Legal gray areas around biological family building
And public rhetoric that makes many queer families feel unsafe or unseen

Having a trusted, affirming resource like GWK Academy isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. In a time when our families are being politicized, choosing to grow one is an act of love and resistance.

That’s Why We’ve Stepped Up — and Why We Need You

In 2025, we transitioned to a nonprofit and began offering resources for all prospective LGBTQ+ parents. Why? Because our mission has always been bigger than us — and it’s time our structure reflects that.

We’re building something extraordinary: A free, affirming, and inclusive hub to help LGBTQ+ people pursue adoption, foster care, surrogacy, home insemination, IUI, IVF and reciprocal IVF — with expert support and community, no matter where they live or who they love.

Your donation builds families — and supports them.

Every dollar you give helps us offer:

Free 1-on-1 coaching sessions for future LGBTQ+ parents
Expert-led courses on adoption, surrogacy, and trans fertility
NEW content for lesbian, bi, and trans people pursuing parenthood
Mentorship from LGBTQ+ parents who’ve been there
A moderated, supportive Facebook community

Since launching GWK Academy in 2022, more than a thousand gay and queer men have benefited from our education and support. Now we’re expanding to support everyone within the LGBTQ+ community.

Folks use our coaching sessions to help get started, get "unstuck," or to get answers to important questions.
