ABOUT US

The Curve Foundation is the only national nonprofit that champions LGBTQ+ women’s culture and stories. When our stories and contributions to society are not shared, are not protected, we see increases in violence against women, mental health issues, homeless youth, and suicide. Curve programs spotlight the roles lesbians and queer women hold in society and the contributions we make.

We are the US host for Lesbian Visibility Week, presenting and supporting over 50 events that elevate and celebrate lesbian culture across the country each April
We run the Curve Fellowship for Emerging Journalists, including 1-1 mentors, regular convenings, and support for career development. Our past fellows have gone on to work at NYT, ESPN, the Associated Press, and NBC.
We produce over 40 intersectional and multi-generational Curve Conversation events each year, including talks with authors, film producers, and experts in various industries addressing topics that are important to our community.

Our work is critical to move the LGBTQ+ community out of a scarcity framework towards a future based on abundance. We dream of a world where we can see each other for who we are and embrace what makes us different; a world where our community doesn't define our unity through our shared oppression, but through our ability to come together in joy and solidarity.

Join us in shaping this future. Your support, whether through donation, volunteering, or participation in our events, makes a meaningful impact on the lives of those we champion.
