Join our LGBTQ+ History Month Fundraiser and educational campaign October 2026 as we celebrate our first year in our brand new Community Center! We have an ambitious goal of $10,000 for our first 10 months in operation at our new location.

We are ecstatic to be back downtown in a more accessible location that hosts most of our regular monthly programs that build supportive networks, share resources, empower youth, and provide identity and/or interest-based socializing. Our Community Center serves as a free "Third Space" for any LGBTQ+ and allied person to use to hang out, find resources, access an LGBTQ+ library, or access a computer with our Cyber Center. We host community drop-in hours four days a week, and offer appointments as well for folks who can't come during this time. See our website for more information on our harm reduction kiosk, LGBTQ+ library, cyber center, clothing closet, community pantry, and more!

Sustaining our Community Center in this political (and funding) environment is challenging, and we need your support!

Fundraiser Goals:

$10,000 over 31 days
10 new recurring donors

Your support will go towards:

physical safety measures
increased utility bills
cleaning supplies
organizational supplies for efficient operations
sustaining our care pantry with basic hygiene supplies
food for low-income attendees of drop-in hours

As a thank you for supporting the Center, we have a few gifts for new monthly recurring donors:

$10 - choice of two Out! Raleigh Pride stickers
$16 - pride coaster
$25 - choice of pair of socks
$30 - mug
$50 - umbrella + sticker
$100 - tote bag, coaster, & mug
