Friends of the Coalition

What is the Friends of the Coalition Program?

At the Cedar Valley LGBTQ+ Coalition, we believe everyone deserves to feel affirmed in who they are and supported as they grow. Because of supporters like you, we are able to cultivate welcoming spaces where LGBTQ+ people and allies can connect, learn, and thrive.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to build strong LGBTQ+ community support through collaboration, education, and advocacy. Each year, your generosity makes it possible for us to offer meaningful programs and events that bring our community together, including Queersgiving, Youth Prom, Frog & Toad’s Book Club, AFFIRM Youth Group, and Safe Zone Training. 

These programs create belonging, foster understanding, and ensure that no one has to navigate their identity alone. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on community support to continue and grow this work. 

How to join the Friends of the Coalition

We invite you to join us by making a gift at a level that’s meaningful to you. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports programs that affirm LGBTQ+ identities and strengthen our community. Your gift helps ensure our spaces remain inclusive, accessible, and empowering for all.
