BRAVE Alliance: Fort Wayne’s Home for LGBTQ+ Affirmation, Support & Community
Drop in, connect, be supported — building radically affirming, validating environments for LGBTQ+ lives in Allen County.
Help Save BRAVE Alliance!!
Due to a loss of funding, BRAVE Alliance is at risk of closing in February 2026. We need our community to rally around us now and help save this incredible resource for our LGBTQIA+ community!
​
We need to raise $60k ASAP to remain open for the next year and help buy us some time to secure future funding. Every little bit helps!
