Pflag Richmond

     PFLAG Richmond has been active in central Virginia for 19 years. Through that time we have helped parents learn and understand more about their GLBT family members. We also have welcomed gay, lesbian, and transgender folks who need a safe space to be who they are and to learn that there are many allies who support them.          

     We have implemented projects in the Richmond area including donating a memorial  Magnolia Tree (on the University of Richmond  grounds) for the Transgender Day of Remembrance. We have established a scholarship for deserving young people going to college who have contributed to the wellbeing of the GLBT community. We have formed a relationship with ROSMY (Richmond Organization for Sexual Minority Youth) and enjoy annually providing desserts for their Spring Prom as well as making monetary donations and inviting the young people to speak at our meetings. Our monthly meetings coincide with ROSMY's, so their parents may attend PFLAG Richmond for support.  Also, As an outgrowth of our presence, the group He, She, We and Ze has formed which supports parents and families of young children who are gender variant.

Our fundraising is done so that we may continue to give scholarships and support causes as we give back to the community.

We are thrilled when we see the positive effects of accepting and encouraging families and young people. Please help us to continue our work with your donation - every dollar helps!
