Help Us Raise $23,500 to Uplift the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community, New York City

Hello,

We are a passionate 2SLGBTQIA+ foundation, committed to spreading awareness, celebrating diversity, and uplifting our community. Our foundation has existed for many years, quietly but successfully building community, offering support, and standing up for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. We’ve helped countless individuals feel seen, heard, and safe—and now, we’re ready to expand that impact even further.

Our goal is to raise $23,500 to fund meaningful projects that promote visibility, education, and unity within and beyond the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum.

We are choosing to keep our identities private at this time—not out of fear, but out of care. Many of us, and those we support, have been mocked, threatened, or even assaulted for living openly and authentically. Until it is truly safe for all of us, we prioritize privacy.

With your support, we will:

• Launch public awareness campaigns that amplify queer voices

• Host inclusive events and workshops to educate and inspire

• Support individuals in the community who need safe, affirming spaces

• Collaborate with other groups to drive positive social change

This is not just about raising money—it’s about building a movement rooted in love, visibility, and pride.

Once we reach our $23,500 goal, we plan to host a gathering to thank all our donors—a celebration of community, solidarity, and shared purpose. Whether you contribute financially or share this campaign with others, you are part of this journey.

Thank you for standing with us.

With love and pride ,

— Lenux 2SLGBTQIA+ Foundation
