Founded in 1987, PFLAG Charlotte is a chapter of PFLAG, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to supporting families, educating allies, and advocating for equality while also aiming to create a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.

Equality North Carolina builds LGBTQ+ power through advocacy, education, and uplifting the stories of queer and trans North Carolinians in pursuit of racial and social justice.

The Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber supports LGBT+ and allied businesses through business development and growth strategy training; networking and collaborative creation; procurement of assets and funding; and advocacy for LGBT+ visibility and economic equity.

We believe in the power of the political process. Electing candidates who care about the lives and needs of society's most marginalized is the first step towards building a better North Carolina -- and world -- for us all.

Equality North Carolina has been fighting for vulnerable North Carolinians for over four decades. With your support, we are working to create a more just and equitable world for LGBTQ North Carolinians from all walks of life.

SAGE stands proudly with the LGBTQ+ pioneers across the country who’ve been fighting for decades for their right to live with dignity and respect.

At Transcend, we believe that everyone has the right to live their authentic truth and a fulfilled life free from oppression. To reach this mission, we provide free and/or low-cost mental health, social support and education services to trans and gender-expansive folks (ages 18±) in Mecklenburg, and the adjoining counties in North and South Carolina.

Established in 2018 The Gender Education Network is a non profit organization dedicated to trans children and the information and education they need. We are a unique organization focusing on children under 12, the youngest among us, and their needs as they navigate the community and their own bodies. We provide resources for care and education to families who just need a little guidance in loving and accepting their child for who they are.

The Charlotte Transgender Healthcare Group is a compassionate collective of healthcare providers from diverse backgrounds committed to a mission centered on reducing health and healthcare disparities for those with diverse sexual and gender identities.
