Diversity Richmond

About Diversity Richmond

Diversity Richmond stands as a catalyst, voice, place, and resource dedicated to enriching the LGBTQ+ community of Greater Richmond, VA. Rooted in 15 years of community advocacy, this nonprofit organization emerged from the 2015 merger of two established Richmond institutions, creating a permanent and sustainable structure committed to serving LGBTQ+ individuals, their families, and allies. The organization's core mission centers on championing diversity while actively advancing equity and inclusion throughout the region. Diversity Richmond prioritizes intentional support for those disproportionately impacted within the LGBTQ+ community, including people of color, transgender individuals, and those identifying as non-binary or gender non-conforming. Operating from their Richmond location, the organization builds community through meaningful relationships with volunteers, partner nonprofits, and local supporters who share a vision of a vibrant, inclusive community where LGBTQ+ citizens are treated with respect and dignity. Beyond programming and events, Diversity Richmond has cultivated a safe, welcoming environment rooted in values of equity, inclusion, and human dignity. The organization's commitment extends to creating affirming experiences that celebrate the unique gifts of LGBTQ+ individuals while holding systems accountable in promoting full civil rights for all Virginians. Through community donations, member programs, and collaborative partnerships, Diversity Richmond continues strengthening Greater Richmond as a place where diversity is not just acknowledged but genuinely celebrated.
