MISSION & VALUES
Mission
Diversity Richmond is the hub of the LGBTQ+ community of Greater Richmond connecting people, partners and programs through our work as a catalyst, a voice, a place and a resource.
Values
Catalyst: We believe strong communities are built through collaboration, trust, and shared experiences. We foster meaningful partnerships, create spaces where people can gather and connect, and design programs that reflect the evolving needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
Voice: We believe in fostering an inclusive, equitable, and community-led movement by embracing the full diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, advancing racial equity, and empowering collective advocacy for lasting change.
Place: We believe a place is more than a building—it is a foundation for belonging, safety, collaboration, and opportunity. We steward our space to maximize its impact, welcome community partners, expand access to essential services, and ensure its long-term sustainability for future generations.
Resource: We believe in being a trusted resource for the LGBTQ+ community by connecting individuals and organizations to the support, opportunities, and services they need to thrive. Through collaboration, accessibility, and shared knowledge, we strengthen the network of resources available across our region.
