Who We Are &
Why What We Do Matters |
Who we are is more than a name. It is the day-to-day work that happens in our spaces. The support groups where people find connection. The phone calls where someone finally feels heard. The parent who finds community for the first time. The teenager who walks in unsure and leaves knowing someone has their back.
Why we matter is found in the impact we create together. Last year, 215 people found a safe place to be themselves at the Rainbow Rose Center. We reached over 2,500 people at Pride, hosted 26 support sessions, and had more than 430 meaningful community encounters. Every number represents a real person, a real story, and a moment of connection that would not be possible without you.

Over the past year, it has been an honor to help Rainbow Rose Center grow through our website, emails, social media, and Hanover tabletop programs. Supporting an organization doing such meaningful work for our community has been one of the greatest privileges of my career.
Getting to know the incredible people behind Rainbow Rose Center and so many members of our community has made this past year the highlight of my working life. I’m grateful to be part of this mission and excited to continue serving this community.
