Since the early 1990s, Rocky Mountain Equality (RMEQ) has championed acceptance, visibility, and equality for the LGBTQ+ community. Some of those battles were civilized with incremental gains. Others left us bruised but never broken. But, throughout those years, we have always strived to be the organization that people want to fight with, side-by-side.
We’ve seen tremendous growth.
In the last five years alone, our operating budget has grown six-fold. That has allowed us to dramatically increase our staff, our programs, and our reach. It has allowed us to move from our beloved, but overly cozy, original offices into 3340 Mitchell Lane with the needed space and facilities to hold supportive and creative events, programs, and gatherings for the community.
Through equity clinics we put 20,000 COVID-19 vaccines in people’s arms who otherwise may have been reluctant or excluded. And, most importantly, we’ve played a pivotal role in shaping this imperfect, yet infinitely more accepting cultural landscape for the LGBTQ+ community.
As you read through our history and vision, we hope you are inspired to support RMEQ in our efforts to secure our community’s future.
If you are a first-time supporter, know that you will be welcomed into our fold. If you are a long-time supporter, know that everything we have become in these last decades is because of you. Welcome to the future of RMEQ.

DEDICATION OPPORTUNITIES
Rocky Mountain Equality (RMEQ) began as a group of LGBTQ+ community members organizing Pride out of the trunk of a car. Thanks to these founders and LGBTQ+ and Allied history makers, today's struggle for equality is taking place on a markedly different front.
