Donate to the Yale LGBTQ Center

Thank You for your Support!

We are deeply grateful for the support of our generous donors who make many of our our programs and initiatives for Yale’s students, staff and faculty possible. Contributions of any amount are welcome at any time!

  • Most of all, I am grateful for the way the Yale LGBTQ Center helped me to counter feelings of loneliness as a queer black woman on Yale's campus.
  • The Yale LGBTQ Center is a wonderfully calm space where there is no pressure to perform your queerness. I am already understood, and I am already welcome.
  • Being able to spend time in the Yale LGBTQ Center makes me a better, happier student, since I always feel more relaxed and confident leaving it.
  • It means so much to me, as a queer undergrad, to have a space entirely dedicated to the needs of a community that I am part of, which I think everyone at Yale seeks out and deserves to find.
