GLBT Community Center
The Washington, DC area numbers among the few major metropolitan regions in the country with a large GLBT population that does not have a central gathering place for our community. That is about to change. Funded by a quarter-million dollars from the Cherry Fund and encouraged by a marketing survey reflecting overwhelming community support, an organizing committee consisting of individuals and representatives of various community groups, has begun planning a new, large-scale Community Center. Community groups include:
- Brother Help Thyself
- Cherry Fund
- The Mautner Project
|
- One In Ten
- SMYAL
|
Efforts are already underway relating to site selection, organizational structure, marketing, finance, government relations, community outreach, administration, and programs. The Center's long-term mission is to bolster our community's collective identity, pool the community's resources for efficiency and economies of scale, and supplement the critical work of existing community-based organizations.
