LGBTQ Rolla

LGBTQ+ Rolla continues to grow, with your help!

Over the past few years it has brought us great joy to watch our annual Pride event grow and develop from 80 people at our first Pride in 2021, to over 500 people at our pride last year! There are some additional costs associated with having an event this size (cost breakdown below).

New this year, we are striving to open an LGBTQ+ center--a physical location where people can meet to socialize and to learn; a place that will host our affirming clothes closet; a place that demonstrates our mission of building Affirming, Supportive, Visible Community! Opening this center will accelerate our growth and impact, but will need a significant financial investment.

LGBTQ+ Rolla is a 501(c)(3) non-profit; we rely on donations and volunteers for everything that we do. Thanks for helping to make an organization like this possible in our area - by contributing or sharing this fundraiser, you are directly building an affirming, supportive, visible community right here in Rolla, MO!
