Diversity Richmond is a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource for Richmond’s LGBTQ+ community.
In April 2015, The Richmond Gay Community Foundation and the Gay Richmond Community Center announced a structural change to our organization, combining both entities into Diversity Richmond. The new name was chosen to better reflect the diversity and inclusion that was already evident in our mission. Diversity Richmond is a leader in the effort to create a permanent and sustainable non-profit structure in Richmond dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ community, their families and allies. We advocate for fairness, working closely with others who share our vision.
In the last 15 years, much has changed in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Diversity Richmond has evolved into a multi-faceted organization, while remaining a respected voice for the acceptance of sexual and gender minorities. We envision a community where LGBTQ+ citizens are treated with respect and dignity, and their unique gifts are championed and celebrated, enriching the colorful fabric of our community.
