Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
Currently, the Center does not have a physical location. Due to flooding in June 2006, we had to vacate the donated space we occupied. Since that time, we have been restructuring the organization and fundraising toward the goal of reopening a physical space in the future.
When will you have a physical space?
That’s a difficult question to answer. While we have raised approximately $6000 toward that goal, it is far from the amount necessary to maintain a space perpetually over time. We want to assure everything is in place, from finances to the strength of the board and our programming, to create a foundation that will be successful and sustainable. That takes time, community involvement, and a monthly income stream from donations or other sources.
Do you still have 501(c)3 non-profit status?
Yes, we are a registered charitable organization with the state of Washington and have federal 501(c)3 non-profit status.
Do you have any programs?
We do currently have two funded programs under our Wellness Project. The LBT Women’s Wellness Program focuses on breast health for lesbian, bi and trans women; and the LGBTQ Smoking Cessation and Prevention Program focuses on tobacco use education and prevention for our community. Click on either of these programs to see who funds them.
Do you have any support groups?
Currently, we have no active support groups.
Do you provide any social opportunities?
We do sponsor events in the community, and these events provide opportunities for social networking. Other events are organized by community members or organizations to raise funds for us. Some of the events are fundraisers, and others are free. Events last year included:

Where do you get your funding?
What is the difference between a provider and a resource?
In general, a provider is one who delivers health or wellness services. A provider can be a physician, a social worker, a clinic, a therapist, you get the idea. A resource, in general, is an organization, a Web site, a business, etc. So, when you think "Provider" think "Health and Wellness" and when you think "Resource" think "Information." Remember though, a provider can also be a resource (and vise versa) and in those instances, they will come up on both search pages.
