InReach

The stakes have never been higher for the diverse LGBTQ+ community. As anti-LGBTQ+ legislation spreads and discrimination intensifies across the U.S., millions are finding it increasingly difficult to access affirming care. InReach is stepping up with the 1M Lives by 2030 Initiative —a critical effort to connect 1 million LGBTQ+ people to life-saving, verified resources by 2030 . But we can’t do this without you. HOW YOUR DONATION WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE Your tax-deductible donation to the 1M by 2030 Initiative will directly support InReach’s most urgent needs, including: 💚 Engineering : Maintaining InReach’s open source platform and adding new features to meet growing demand. 💚 Resource & Translation Team : Expanding our vetted resource database and ensuring it's accessible to non-English speakers. 💚 Community Outreach & Marketing : Increasing our reach, particularly in states with hostile legislation, to ensure that more people in need are aware of our free verified LGBTQ+ resource platform. 💚 Data & Policy Advocacy : Leverage InReach’s unique data to identify gaps and assess demand for LGBTQ+ resources across states, helping funders, local governments, and stakeholders fill critical service gaps. TOGETHER WE CAN TRANSFORM RESOURCE ACCESS FOR LGBTQ+ PEOPLE At InReach, we envision a future where everyone in the LGBTQ+ community can easily access the support they need. Our goal is to create a powerful shared resource platform that continually improves with every interaction. 🏳️‍🌈 Empowering Individuals : LGBTQ+ teen Taylor is facing housing insecurity after being rejected by their family, leaving them feeling lost and alone. Taylor finds hope and support through InReach’s free, constantly updated resource platform, where they can confidentially access verified safe housing and other essential services with just a few clicks. As they navigate their journey, Taylor rates and reviews providers, sharing their experiences to assist fellow users. They also suggest new providers they discover along the way to help more LGBTQ+ youth access affirming care. 🏳️‍⚧️ Supporting Service Providers : Angela is a trans woman seeking asylum in the U.S. after fleeing death threats in her home country due to her gender identity. Her pro bono attorney, Daniel, is dedicated to helping her navigate the complex legal system, but he struggles to find other resources to meet her holistic needs, such as safe housing, language assistance, gender-affirming medical care, and trauma-informed mental health care. With InReach, Daniel can quickly connect Angela to essential resources, allowing him to focus on building the strongest legal case possible while ensuring she receives the care she needs to heal and thrive. Additionally, Daniel enhances the platform for future attorneys and their clients by contributing new resource suggestions and rating his referrals. His legal clinic registers for a free provider account on the platform, enabling them to manage their own listing and advertise their services to more eligible clients seeking support. 🌈 Guiding Policy Advocacy & Resource Allocation : Sarah, a local elected official, uses InReach to gain insight into the demand for LGBTQ+ affirming services in her state. By exploring our verified data, her office can identify local trans-led and BIPOC-led organizations that need funding and pinpoint gaps in services by location, service type, and/or specific communities. This informed approach enables Sarah to advocate for local policy changes while helping her state allocate resources effectively and direct new funding to areas of greatest need. NOW MORE THAN EVER As state laws continue to threaten the safety of LGBTQ+ people, the 1M Lives by 2030 Initiative is more than a goal—it’s a lifeline. Every dollar you give helps us connect more trans and queer people to life-saving resources, bringing us closer to a world where every LGBTQ+ person has the safety and support they need to thrive. With gratitude, The InReach Team 💚

For my birthday this year, I am asking if you would support InReach, a trans-led tech nonprofit building the world's first open source verified LGBTQ+ resource platform. As co-chair of InReach's Washington, DC Young Professionals Board, I have seen firsthand how important their work is. InReach supports LGBTQ+ people facing persecution and discrimination, focusing on asylum seekers, resettled refugees, and other immigrants; transgender and gender non-conforming people; youth; BIPOC communities; people with HIV; and others facing family or community rejection due to their LGBTQ+ identity. Individuals in need of help, as well as service providers, can use the InReach app to find independently verified resources in their area that are safe and affirming for LGBTQ+ people. Resources include housing, mental health and medical care, immigration and other legal help, education and employment, meal assistance, translation, and community and spiritual support. Given the current political climate, InReach is more vital than ever. Any contribution goes a long way. If you decide to donate, thank you so much!! -Beth
