Mission Statement
Equality Florida is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community.
About This Cause
Equality Florida is a 501(c-3) charity organization. Donations to Equality Florida are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Key areas of our work include: -Safe and Healthy Schools: We assist districts in implementing comprehensive best practices and policies to support and affirm LGBTQ students in Florida’s 3-million-student school system. -Transgender Community Advocacy and Education: We’re the leading voice in representing and supporting Florida’s transgender community through diversity trainings, advocacy, and resource provisions. -HIV Advocacy and Education: Our goal is to curb the rate of new HIV transmissions in Florida and end HIV stigma through statewide public education campaigns and policy work designed to modernize HIV-specific laws. -Equality Means Business and Open Doors: To improve Florida’s reputation as a welcoming place to live, work, and visit, we highlight pro-equality businesses that have adopted comprehensive nondiscrimination policies and have demonstrated their commitment to valuing and proactively including all employees. -Healthcare Equality: We partner with healthcare facilities to ensure they provide the compassion and sensitivity that LGBTQ patients deserve by advocating for inclusive policies and increasing cultural competence among healthcare providers. Since our founding in 1997, we’ve become one of the largest statewide LGBTQ groups in the country with more than 300,000 supporters, more than 1,000 volunteers, and staff located in major Florida cities to organize and support our work.
