ABOUT US

Diversity Richmond stands as a vibrant and essential community hub, supporting and empowering the LGBTQ+ community in Central Virginia. Through our work as a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource we remain committed to fostering a welcoming and affirming region where LGBTQ+ individuals, families and allies can live, work, worship and visit.

Over the last 25 years Diversity Richmond has become an integral part of the fabric of the Richmond region. Our programs assist over 500 people annually with emergency financial assistance, clothing vouchers and new home kits. Our 11,000 square foot event hall is offered for free or discounted rates to LGBTQ+ and allied organizations. We estimate that more than 10,000 people annually come to our facility for events hosted by us or our partners.  We provide grants, sponsorships and in-kind support valued at over $200k a year to LGBTQ+ and allied groups.  We serve as a liaison between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and continue to work with policymakers to pass supportive policies that protect the LGBTQ+ community, our families and allies. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

This year, we're fundraising for the entirety of Pride Month culminating in Give OUT Day on June 28th, a national day of giving for the LGBTQ+ community. 

Our goal this year is $5,000 to amplify our voices through upgrading our audio and visual equipment in the Event Hall.  

If you have ever been to an event in our space you are aware that we could use some new microphones and audio-visual equipment.  Every dollar raised this year will be dedicated to purchasing the necessary items we need to improve the event going experience in our space.  

Will you help us literally amplify LGBTQ+ and allied voices?  Your gift during Give Out Day will help us do just that!

Here are other ways your donation helps Diversity Richmond do our mission:

  1. $10 provides three pairs of shoes to an LGBTQ+ community member in need
  2. $25 provides a clothing voucher for community members in need
  3. $100 covers a utility bill for community members in need

  4. $250 covers the cost of 3-days of emergency housing for a community member experiencing homelessness

  5. $500 covers gas for our Diversity Thrift trucks to pick-up community donations for one month

  6. $1,500 allows a nonprofit or community group to use our event hall for free

Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated!
