Stonewall Forward
Stonewall Columbus exists to meet the moment—today and in the years ahead.
As the needs of our LGBTQ+ community evolve, so must the way we show up, invest, and lead.
Looking toward the future, Stonewall Columbus is focused on being a strong, sustainable community anchor—one that responds to immediate needs while building long-term stability, access, and belonging for LGBTQ+ people across Central Ohio.
Our work is guided by four core pillars:

Supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and families in building financial stability, career opportunity, and long-term security. - Identity Enrichment
Creating space for learning, culture, history, and expression that affirms the full diversity of LGBTQ+ identities. - Health & Wellness
Connecting community to affirming services, resources, and supports that strengthen mental, emotional, and physical well-being. - Family Expansion
Supporting LGBTQ+ people as they build, grow, and sustain families—however family is defined.
This work does not happen in isolation. Stonewall Columbus advances its mission through partnership, collaboration, and community trust—recognizing that lasting impact is built together.
Your support ensures Stonewall remains prepared, responsive, and rooted in the community we serve.
There is no such thing as a small gift—only shared investment in a future where LGBTQ+ people are seen, supported, and thriving.
