NYU LGBTQ+ Center 25th Anniversary

The NYU LGBTQ+ Center is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2021!

Our goal is to raise at least $25,000 — $1000 for every year of the Center's existence — by March 25th to support the Center's priority areas of focus: 

• LGBTQ+ Student Leadership - Expand the scope and reach of leadership programs that are offered to students by the LGBTQ+ Center (e.g., First Year Queers & Allies, Queer Leadership Retreat, attending the Creating Change Conference, NYU LGBTQ+ Center Fellowship Program, and more)
• LGBTQ+ Research - In partnership with the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, establish an LGBTQ+ Research Grant intended to support LGBTQ+ research and scholars who are members of the NYU community. Graduate students (Master’s and Doctoral), postdoctoral scholars, and faculty would be eligible to apply for the research grant.
• LGBTQ+ Student Emergency Fund - Research and experience indicates that LGBTQ+ students are more susceptible to unforeseen emergencies and life-impacting situations because of how they identify in terms of their gender and sexuality. Often, experiences derived from an individual’s LGBTQ+ identity mean loss of support systems, whether from families, friends, or larger institutions. This fund would support NYU students who are in immediate need of financial support.

Our primary spring 2021 campaign will take place from March 1-25, 2021, but we will continue to raise funds throughout the Center's 25th celebration year.

We appreciate your investment in the LGBTQ+ Center's work towards supporting LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff, and alumni at NYU!
