Collaborative Funding
CenterLink partners with foundations, corporations, and philanthropic leaders to invest in LGBTQ community centers and LGBTQ-serving community-based organizations across the country.
Through collaborative funding initiatives, CenterLink helps align philanthropic investment with the real and emerging needs of LGBTQ communities. As a membership organization representing more than 375 LGBTQ community centers and emerging organizations, we are uniquely positioned to connect funders with trusted local organizations delivering critical services every day.
Each year, CenterLink distributes more than $1.5 million annually to LGBTQ community centers through a range of grant programs and collaborative initiatives. These investments support work on the front lines of community care, including health services, youth programming, mental health support, community connection, leadership development, and safety initiatives.
Our collaborative funding model makes it easier for funders to support multiple centers through one trusted national partner while ensuring resources are deployed efficiently, thoughtfully, and in ways that strengthen local impact.
