LGBT Center Pride Fund

Your support helps to make the work we do possible.

Your gift to the LGBT Center and its Pride Fund supports educational and community development programs and workshops that connect LGBTQ+ students, alumni, and other supporters of our LGBT Center.

Our LGBT Center cultivates safe and civil university and community environments that affirm diverse forms of sexuality, gender identity and expression, and queerness.

Our programming, resources, educational opportunities, and community outreach efforts focus on the unique academic, cultural, and social needs of LGBTQ+ students as well as OHIO staff, faculty, alumni, and members of the wider community.

Your support helps to make the work we do possible.
