Get Involved with the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas
Membership
There are several ways to get involved with our organization. You can become a member of the LGBTQ+ Foundation of Kansas. Membership gives you the ability to directly influence the direction of the organization by attending meetings and electing officials. If you would like to become a member, please see our application here. Membership is an annual fee of $30.
Join Our Gifts Garden
You can also get involved by joining our private resource database — The Gift Garden! The Gift Garden is a collection of queer people and resources in Kansas used to connect people with needs to others who can help fulfill those needs. Everyone has a talent or gift they can share with their community. Being a part of the Gift Garden can allow you to make a positive difference in your area. All information is kept private until specifically requested by a community member. For example, someone might reach out to us about LGBTQ+ friendly wedding officiants. We would check our private database, contact the people in our Gift Garden to confirm if it is okay to give out their information, then the connection is made. The safety of our members is top priority and your information will never be released unless you approve it. The Gift Garden is expanding every day; we would love to have you join! Both joining and accessing the Gift Garden is absolutely free.
In addition to our private resource database, we also host public resources here.
Events
You can also get involved by attending events. Many of our events are online through Zoom and welcome people from all over the state! We currently host a monthly Meet and Chat event over Zoom to connect LGBTQIA+ people across the state in a casual, but safe environment.
Volunteering
We are always in need of volunteers for Pride events and other projects throughout the year. If you would like to be placed on our volunteer list, click here!
Buddy System
The Foundation is gearing up to start a ‘Buddy System’ program in 2026 where members of the community are paired up to regularly check in with each other and form the base of a peer support network. All ‘buddy’ pairs will be supported by Foundation volunteers trained in peer and crisis support. If you are interested in being a buddy, please contact us!
