Due to the impact of COVID-19, our Ethnic & Gender campus locations are closed until further notice. Our staff is working remotely and available to support you along your Highlander journey. We look forward to being back on campus and supporting you in-person. Please continue to wash your hands, wear a face covering, and maintain physical distance.
Gift Fund Donations
Giving Back Matters
Our vital scholarships, grants, programs and services all work together to bolster our students and community. Keep that positive impact going by giving back. There are countless ways to contribute, whether you want to assist individual students in economic crisis or support the nationally-recognized T-Camp Retreat. Make a tax-deductible donation to a leadership, grant or program fund. Giving back to the LGBT Resource Center is convenient, appreciated and truly changes lives.

We have reached our endowment goal of $25,000 through the "Nancy Wears a Dress" and "Andy Wears a Dress" fundraisers, plus proceeds from Queer Alliance's annual Dragalicious Drag Ball. However, your continued support will help grow the number of scholarships we can award.
