Our Membership Invesment Philosophy

CenterLink believes every LGBTQ+ organization deserves access to transformative resources, regardless of budget size. Our equity-driven sliding scale ensures that emerging grassroots organizations can participate alongside more established ones. This method creates a thriving ecosystem where more resourced organizations help sustain access to the network, and ensures financial constraints never prevent any organization from joining and creating impact. Together, we build a movement where every voice matters and every organization can flourish.

Equitable Participation

 Our membership welcomes organizations of every size and budget through a thoughtful sliding scale that ensures meaningful participation for all.  

Shared Investment in our Future

Together, we build a diverse, collaborative network — driving greater collective impact for all. While larger, well-resourced organizations may share their support, knowledge, expertise, and vision, smaller and emerging organizations may share innovation, new perspectives, fresh ideas, and adaptability. 

Mission Above All

 CenterLink's mission to strengthen, support, and connect
LGBTQ+ community organizations takes precedence over budgetary limitations. When financial barriers threaten to exclude an organization from membership, we are committed to finding solutions.
