Project BuildOUT Progress
Our goal for Project BuildOUT is to raise $100,000 in individual giving to support our upcoming expansion. We're proud to report that we've already brought in nearly $64,000 towards that goal. Help us raise the rest by making a special donation in support of our new facilities. Giving levels start at $100. Gifts of $500 or more will be recognized on the donor wall in our new space.

Building a New Gay City
Our vision for Project BuildOUT is to create a resource hub and social destination for the LGBT community in Seattle - a place to gather and connect. Our new facility will have more than double its current space, allowing us to significantly expand on-site programming and services, as well as providing drop-in space for our community.
With more than twice its current space, the Gay City Wellness Center will have an increased range of screening, counseling, and other health support services.
The increased space will also allow Gay City to build new partnerships with other LGBT community organizations.
Project BuildOUT will allow the Gay City LGBT Library to triple in size and gain street access, providing space for the more than 3,500 volumes in the Library's collection. The increased space will also allow Gay City's Resource & Referral volunteers to provide more drop-in and face-to-face services.
Project BuildOUT includes the addition of a 750 sq. ft. multi-purpose assembly space with the potential for a variety of uses, including: theatrical productions, film screenings, spoken word events, musical performances, visual arts installations, readings, writing workshops seminars, community meetings, and private events. The arts space will allow Gay City to have more on-site events, and will be available for rental and use by the community.
We need your support to make this vision a reality. Be a part of the new Gay City by supporting Project BuildOUT with your generous, tax-deductible gift to Gay City. In addition to receiving all of our Partners for Health benefits, the generosity of all Project BuildOUT donors will also be acknowledged on the donor wall in our new space.
