More than ever before, NQAPIA needs your support. The situation we are facing is not unique to our organization, as we experience and witness funding opportunities declining and further restrictions on LGBTQ+ funding. What is unique to NQAPIA is the strength of our community and national network of grassroots organizations. Our abundance lies in our community.

If you have capacity to give, share, sign onto our letter of support, or volunteer to reach out to our donors to help us bridge this moment, we need you now. Our donation link is in our Linktree in our bio. Thank you for your support!

Missed the town hall? No worries, hear from our Director of Advocacy and Organizing, Reggie, to learn more about what was discussed.

We know that the news about NQAPIA has left community with questions, and we want to keep being transparent, accountable, and action-oriented. Beyond the political and economic states of the country and non-profit landscape, our organization has faced challenges over the past few years.

It is our duty to acknowledge this and be able to move through it to continue building with our folks.

We ask that you build with us!

Community has stories to tell. 

NQAPIA has been building community for 21 years. While our current staff has been here for, at most, two years, we know that the essence of NQAPIA lives in the stories, memories, relationships, and impact built over the last two decades.

We want to know yours.

What does NQAPIA mean to you? What’s a memory that has stayed with you? How has this community shaped you, your work, or your life?

Share your NQAPIA story with us by submitting a testimonial through the link in our bio. Your story is part of our story, and we’d be honored to receive it!
