LNKD Community
By us, For us.
Why'd We Start?
LNKD was founded in 2024 for one simple reason to support and uplift those like us. It is our mission to be the LNK (get it?) between our community and the plenty of resources out there. When we began, we were struck by one question: How are we going to be different? There are so many wonderful programs and organizations within our community all doing the things we wanted to take on as well. Instead of being yet another nonprofit finding an even smaller niche within our people, we decided to be the ones to amplify the voices already here. LNKD's goal is to shine a light on all the amazing work already being done and help fight to have that work continue.
How we Operate
LNKD operates as a resource hub and fundraising entity. We reach out to other nonprofits and organizations to spotlight the resources they offer, while also hosting events to raise funds for their operations or other initiatives. We plan to make what our people might need easy to find, use, and understand. Whether that be amplification of available resources, making current events applicable and digestible, or bridging the financial gap.
We want our community to not only survive, but thrive. Our goal is to become a pillar; A place to come to when you need help and make sure that you get it. Your community has your back.
The Mission
We increase access to opportunities, resources, and knowledge, for LGBTQ+ people of color through direct action, mutual aid, and compilation of materials.
