Formally established in 1996 as a 501(c) (3) organization, AspenOUT, also known as the Roaring Fork Gay & Lesbian Community Fund, provides support and services to the diverse LGBTQ+ population of the Roaring Fork Valley. We are best known for our Q+ Winter Community gathering event in January, Aspen Gay Ski Week (AGSW), celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2027.
AspenOUT is dedicated to empowering the LGBTQIA+ (Q+) community and their families across the Roaring Fork Valley, nationwide and worldwide via digital curricula. Through innovative programming, vital resources, and strategic financial support, we champion the well-being of all queer individuals—lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond—fostering a culture of understanding and belonging. We alleviate the financial barriers to essential specialized therapy for families, cultivate the potential of Q+ youth through empowerment initiatives, and build a vibrant community for adults and allies through engaging programs.
