Lighthouse Foundation, Chicago, IL


  • About Us

    Lighthouse Foundation is a Black Queer-led, multiracial social justice organization that advances justice for Black LGBTQ+ people across Chicagoland through empowerment, education, and entertainment. Black Queer Caucus (BQC) Leaders build community, set goals, and create public programming for Black LGBTQ+ people. We work for Black LGBTQ+ liberation externally by pursuing community organizing campaigns that challenge institutions to invest in Black communities, address Black needs, and follow Black leadership. We invite non-Black accomplices, interfaith partners, and secular service providers to support community organizing that builds a more equitable LGBTQ+ community by donating, showing up for protests, demonstrations, press conferences, and other direct actions.
