Your compassion makes a difference in the lives of people everyday. Whether you donate today to support our work or volunteer with us, your generosity is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU!



Why give to Rocky Mountain Equality?

You improve lives. Your compassion brings joy and connection to more than 30,000 of your LGBTQ+ neighbors. Your gift helps LGBTQ+ communities be stronger, safer, and prouder.

Your gift goes to work immediately. Your generosity provides support groups, mental health services, youth development, and life-changing resources found nowhere else.

You empower youth. LGBTQ+ youth are much more likely to suffer from depression, bullying, and suicidal thoughts than their peers. You make all the difference by creating affirming spaces where kids can be themselves and be celebrated for being who they are. 

You build a brighter future. Your commitment to LGBTQ+ equality is just the beginning. Together, we're ensuring that our community shares moments of connection and joy and that the next generation experiences lives full of love, acceptance, and protection.

Your impact goes further. Helping people who have been hurt by discrimination isn't enough. Your generosity translates to education and advocacy at the local and state levels to make laws and policies more inclusive and affirming. 



Mission

We work collaboratively to create connection and provide advocacy, education, research, cultural events, and responsive programs and services that ensure LGBTQ+ people, families, and communities thrive.

Background Statement

We All Belong Here: Rocky Mountain Equality's History

Founded in 1994 as Boulder Pride, Rocky Mountain Equality began as a small collective of people who wished to organize a Boulder LGBTQ+ Pride event. As the community grew, so did the need for the organization to broaden its purpose.

In 1998, we secured a community center and began offering services year-round. The organization changed its name to Out Boulder in 2010 to better reflect the broad range of events, programs, and services being offered.

In recognition of the ever-larger region and diverse populations being served, in 2016 Out Boulder became Out Boulder County. Soon after, it became clear that it was once again time to grow our organization and facility in order to meet the needs of the community. In 2022 Out Boulder County moved into the Equality Center of the Rocky Mountains at 3340 Mitchell Lane in Boulder, and in 2024, we announced ourselves as Rocky Mountain Equality.

We invite you to join us in our mission!
