Committed to advancing equality and inclusion.

In 2018, we opened the very first LGBTQ Center in Greensboro to provide resources, programs, and support for the LGBTQ community.

The LGBTQ Center

In January 2020, after outgrowing our original location in midtown, we moved to our current location at 121 N. Greene Street in the heart Downtown Greensboro.

Our dedicated volunteers and staff provide valuable resources and programs on a broad range of topics, such as healthcare, legal rights, self-advocacy, aging, financial planning, and transgender issues.

The LGBTQ Center is 2,000 square feet and consists of a lounge (stocked with free water and coffee!), a large meeting space that seats up to 50 people, two smaller meeting spaces, a resource library, and so much more. The Center offers a transgender clothing closet, where trans folks can find a piece of gender-affirming clothing at no cost. It also houses a queer library where people can check out LGBTQ-themed books and movies.

To reserve space and/or time in the Center for your program or meeting, please contact us at 336.790.8419 or email center@ggfnc.org.

Grant Program

Every year, Guilford Green Foundation provides grants to local nonprofits that support our mission through LGBTQ initiatives and programs. Our focus are the youth, aging, and the transgender communities.

We support a broad range of work, including projects that build leadership capacity, help secure rights for the community, affirm and celebrate identity, ensure safety, wellbeing, and dignified treatment, as well as work to eliminate discrimination and bias.

To be eligible for consideration, all prospective projects must have an LGBTQ component or serve our community in some capacity. Grant applicants must also be a federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating in Alamance, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, or Rockingham counties.

The Pearl Berlin Scholarship

The Pearl Berlin Scholarship honors Berlin and her lifetime of work as a fearless advocate for LGBTQ rights, marriage equality, and education. The scholarship is dedicated to celebrating and supporting continuing education for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied students who exhibit courage and leadership in their schools and communities. The scholarship(s) are awarded in the spring to graduating, college-bound seniors who have demonstrated leadership in the LGBTQ community.
