Keep Black LGBTQ+ Art Free for Everyone
Black Alphabet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations and community partners fund nearly everything we do, which is why most of our programs are free or ask only a small suggested donation. Cost should never keep anyone from art that affirms them. Your gift keeps our doors open to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.
