In 2026, we showed what’s possible when queer families come together: young people finding their people, families building community, and queerspawn across the country knowing they are not alone. Now, we’re ready to bring that sense of belonging to even more people growing up in LGBTQ+ families.
For more than 35 years, COLAGE has created spaces where people with LGBTQ+ parents and caregivers can see their families reflected, find people who understand, and celebrate the families that make us who we are. This year, blossoming local Chapters, burgeoning Family Weekends, youth leadership, and year-round programming have helped us grow a network rooted in safety, connection, and belonging.
In 2027, our goal is to ensure that everyone growing up in an LGBTQ+ family can develop a deeper sense of belonging.
Your support helps make that possible. It allows COLAGE to grow year-round virtual and in-person programming, strengthen emerging Chapters and Family Weekends, build relationships with organizations in communities where new COLAGE programming is taking root, and invest in the people and infrastructure that make lasting community possible.
Your gift can go twice as far to help more young people connect with one another, build community, and grow up knowing that they are part of a network of peers and families that belong with one another.
With gratitude,
The COLAGE Team
