Building a Family Support Network for the LGBTQ+ Community 🏳️‍🌈

Stand In Pride is a 501(c)3 nonprofit connecting members of the LGBTQ+ community with chosen family. We believe in the power of acceptance and the profound impact of having a supportive family—especially for those in the LGBTQ+ community who have taken the brave step to come out. Unfortunately, not everyone receives the support they deserve.

This is where our mission starts: to match LGBTQ+ individuals without family support. We provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to find chosen family. Stand in Pride has thousands of members ready and willing to shower you with support and love.

They are willing to physically show up for any special occasion. Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks.

Our Vision

Our vision is to have every LGBTQ+ member have the support and love that they need.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to help any member of the LGBTQ+ community who has lost the love and support of family. We will help them get connected with a loving heart that will be their Stand in Family.

Why We're Building The Stand in Pride App:

Stand in Pride was born out of the need for a space that embraces the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. In a world that is still learning to fully understand and appreciate the spectrum of identities, we recognized the importance of a digital sanctuary where individuals can connect, find support or offer it, and celebrate their authentic selves without fear or judgment. Our goal is to extend our community from our Facebook groups into an app made just for them.
