SUPPORT THE CENTER
ANNUAL FUND
The Center's most critical area in need of support is that of general operations and programming. Gifts to the annual fund help us build the capacity to support those program needs and operating costs.
PRIDE IN THE CLE
Pride in the CLE has been a champion for equality, diversity, and inclusion in the City of Cleveland and beyond. Join the thousands who proudly support Pride in the CLE each year and help us continue to make a positive and lasting impact.
FACILITY ENDOWMENT FUND
It is paramount that we continue to grow the endowment in order to guarantee the sustainability of The Center and its new home for years to come.
SFERRA LEGACY FUND
In 2019, the Center's longtime Board of Directors president, Bob Sferra, announced that he would be stepping down. Bob left behind a tremendous legacy over the course of his time serving on the Center's Board. His guidance allowed our organization to further our ability to enact change within the Greater Cleveland LGBTQ+ community. We look to continue his drive for philanthropic giving, with a particular focus on supporting our youth programming, with this legacy fund in honor of Bob and the amazing work we have accomplished together!
RECURRING GIFT
This way of giving is mutually beneficial for you and the organization. By spreading your total annual giving across a selected time frame (monthly, weekly, etc.) you are able to spread your giving over time all while providing consistent support for the Center's programs and operations.
DAVE REAM MEMORIAL ART FUND
We are seeking $90,000 to advance the art program. Since the passing of Dave Ream in 2017, we have established the Dave Ream Memorial Art Fund to support his vision of a Center that supplies a safe and beautiful place for our community to gather.
LATIN PRIDE PROJECT
The Puerto Rican Parade of Greater Cleveland carries a strong history of cultural awareness, pride, and education, led by a resilient community who's love for their homeland, spirit of freedom, justice, and unity have never wavered.” For more than 50 years Puerto Rican heritage is celebrated in the City of Cleveland. This year will be more exciting than ever with the inclusion of LGBTQ representation in the parade. Our team is aiming to raise $5,000 to fund the Latin Pride Project. The funds raised will be used to purchase a parade float, provide t-shirts, entertainment, and refreshments for LGBTQ+ parade marchers and organizing volunteers.
