CenterLink is a member-based coalition of LGBT centers, youth centers, senior centers, start-up groups, social service agencies, pride groups, and more that supports the development of strong, sustainable, and healthy LGBT communities. Members have access to many valuable resources to help them to do more, to reach more people, and to thrive.
By internet, phone or e-mail we can provide you with the assistance you need. AND, if you’re looking for one-on-one help with strategic planning, board retreats and more, we can provide you with live facilitation and on-site support.
CenterLink provides resources for groups planning to open a community center or expand existing programs and services. The resources available include sample forms, “how to” articles, and training materials. The clearing house also contains samples of articles of incorporation, by-laws, job descriptions, policies and procedures and directions on how to apply to the IRS for tax-exempt status.
Listing your center on CenterLink’s online directory will significantly broaden your outreach to potential visitors.
The MAP/CenterLink LGBT Community Center Survey Report gets to the heart of trends driving the LGBT Community Center movement – giving members an overview of local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community centers, including their capacity, their programs and services, the people they serve, and their technical assistance needs. These reports help LGBT organizations and donors better understand the unique role that community centers play in the LGBT movement, as well as centers’ needs and capacities.
These webinars are FREE to CenterLink members… featuring timely information and training on topics of interest to LGBT Community Center Leaders.
Grant news and information, as well as Grant opportunities available only to CenterLink members.
