Create Your Legacy

Our Values Aligned

Established in 1983 as a result of the AIDS crisis, New York City’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center has grown and evolved over the last four decades, creating and delivering services that empower people to lead healthy, successful lives. The Center currently operates in person and virtually, providing recovery and wellness programs, economic advancement initiatives, family and youth support, advocacy, arts and cultural events, and space for community organizing and connection.

Many of The Center’s supporters have chosen to support the future of the organization’s work for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers by providing a gift through their estate plan. Regardless of the size of your gift, you can now provide funding to ensure that The Center will continue to be a space for LGBTQ+ healing, togetherness, and action for generations to come. Traditionally, creating a will can be expensive and time-consuming. To solve this problem, The Center is pleased to offer its supporters free access to Giving Docs. Here you can easily create your will and other estate planning documents in just a few minutes. You are not required to leave a gift to The Center in order to create a will. This is our gift to you.

"When we sat down to write our will, we picked worthy organizations whose goals and aims aligned with our values. The Center was an obvious choice for us, not only because it embraced us and brought us together so many years ago, but because of the work it continues to do every single day. We believe there needs to be a place for LGBTQ+ people to turn to meet and connect. It’s important to maintain The Center as a space for people to congregate, to come out, to build a chosen family—and somewhere you can always rely on!”
