Be the Rainbow

Be the Rainbow is a nonprofit organization providing engaging social and educational opportunities for LGBTQ+ families and our allies in Brevard County, FL.

Be the Rainbow aims to create change where we live by providing a safe place, creative events, and in the future, a physical space for our LGBTQ+ community and allies in Brevard County, FL.

Be the Rainbow Inc., is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Brevard County, FL, that began in 2023. Your donation will contribute to the support, educational, and social opportunities for our LGBTQIA+ and ally community.

Supporting Be the Rainbow is crucial for several reasons.

Be the Rainbow provides a safe space where members of the LGBTQIA+ community can connect, share experiences, and access resources without fear of discrimination or prejudice. In a world where acceptance and inclusivity are not always guaranteed, such initiatives offer a sanctuary where individuals can feel supported and understood.

Additionally, by supporting Be the Rainbow, donors contribute to the creation of environments where LGBTQIA+ youth and families can thrive, learn, and grow together. In the face of challenging political climates that may seek to limit LGBTQIA+ rights and freedoms, it’s vital to ensure that joy and access to safe, affirming events and spaces remain unaffected.

Donations to run these events and someday provide a permanent Be the Rainbow space will help affirm the right to happiness, education, and social connection without fear of judgment or exclusion.
