Fund life-changing services for Colorado’s LGBTQ+ community
50 years ago, the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado needed a space to come together, feel seen, and step into community. The Center on Colfax was created in response to that critical need. Today, more than 25,000 people rely on The Center every year — and with queer folks across the country flocking to Colorado in search of a safe haven, our work is more vital than ever.

Background Statement
For 50 years, The Center on Colfax has been Denver’s LGBTQ+ community institution—a lifeline, beacon, and a gathering place.
We serve thousands annually through peer programs, social groups and youth outreach. Today, we face a growing number of new challenges. The hateful rhetoric nationwide, changes in policies and resources, and shrinking number of safe spaces are driving a migration to Colorado. We must expand our services, opportunities, and physical space to meet the needs of the queer community.
Your gift to The Center signals your support of a future where there is Queer Liberation for Everyone.
