What We Do
Programs with a pulse
Six areas of work, one purpose: making it easier for LGBTQIA+ people to stay alive, stay housed, and stay themselves.
01
Suicide Awareness
Warning-sign education, prevention talks, and events built around one message: reach out, and keep reaching. We point people to 988 and to humans who will pick up.
02
Education & Literacy
Story hours, reading programs, and school and library partnerships that put queer lives on the shelf and in the conversation.
03
Maggie's House
A $3.4 million initiative to build 10 townhomes as a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people, plus housing referrals today for anyone facing rejection, eviction, or an unsafe home.
04
Community Resources
A working referral network for healthcare, mental health, legal help, ID and name changes, food, and chosen family.
05
Advocacy
Showing up at councils, chambers, and community boards for policies that protect queer and trans people.
06
Empowerment
Workshops, mentorship, and performance opportunities that rebuild confidence in people the world tried to shrink.
Sorry Not Sorry
The awareness tour
Part performance, part prevention talk, entirely unapologetic. Our national Sorry Not Sorry campaign brings Maggie's Gurls to festivals, campuses, libraries, and small towns, then leaves behind resources and a local contact list so the help does not drive away with us. We also host the Coming Out Gayla, a full-scale celebration with live bands and drag performers.
Four performers travel in a classic 1959 Cadillac DeVille, our pink reach vehicle. We are fundraising now to get her road-ready and keep the outreach rolling.
