From Pride to Prosper

It’s nearly impossible to predict what Pride will look like in the next 55 years. And yet we know, the future will be more inspiring with your support. This work started before Stonewall, and continues in every single generation, until we are fully liberated.

With that context, we’re excited to share how you can join the radical joy, and give back this June to our nonprofit’s programs.

LGBT+ VC Prosperity Summit: Our global venture capital Summit is designed to connect and empower LGBT+ and ally venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and LGBTQ artists. This year, our VC Summit will take place at the Museum of Arts & Design on June 25th/26th, and will welcome hundreds of firms. Don’t miss out. We’ll be featuring their exhibition on queer jewelry (FAB!!) as well as partnering with Acrylic Robotics for a limited-edition run of queer art that’s robotically-created, human-perfected. Purchase your all-access Summit pass or fine art today. Proceeds fund our nonprofit’s educational and community programs. Watch the robot in action and meet them at our Summit.

Q20: Our College Fellowship Program: Q20 is our 11-week college fellowship program, aimed at nurturing the next generation of LGBT+ investors and philanthropists. Through mentorship, skill-building workshops, and hands-on experience, we’re equipping 20+ students to be investment fellows. Listen to the transformative impact from our last cohort, speaking about why our program matters and its impact.

• Women, trans, and nonbinary are the majority of this fourth cohort. 84% of our students are BIPOC. 70% come from low-income, immigrant households. Every single fellow is qualified, brilliant, and an overachiever. This program is diversification and economic equalizer to shape the future of venture & tech.

• Plus, 33% are not out to their families for fear of rejection, making it a critical safety net and social support.

• Get involved by hiring, speaking, or sharing insights with our cohort. Email [email protected] for more info

The Queens Accelerator 👑: This summer, we'll support 10-12 LGBTQ youth of color from Queens & Bronx to build their businesses and achieve their dreams. We are giving them the privilege of entrepreneurship. At the end of the 6-week program, students will have the chance to pitch their ideas in front of peers, community leaders, and investors, including the Deputy Mayor of New York. This is a great opportunity to share your wisdom, and gifting the gift of hope to the future. Become a founding Queen with a donation of any size, and you’ll be treated like royalty.

Pride has evolved into a truly a truly global movement, with celebrations taking place in cities, towns, and villages across the world. But, the work is never done.

With your financial support, donations, or strategic partnership ([email protected]), we can pave the way for a movement for Prosperity that will transform LGBTQIA+ communities in unimaginable ways.

Lastly, forward and share this important work with somebody you love and appreciate this Pride. We build our community when uplift each other.
