CenterLink is excited to release the results of the 2008 community center survey conducted jointly with the LGBT Movement Advancement Project (MAP).  The 2008 Community Center Survey Report provides an in-depth overview of local LGBT community centers.  The report analyzes data on 71 LGBT community centers, covering approximately 97% of all LGBT community center revenue.  It describes:

• Community centers' age and infrastructure
• Financial, fundraising, staff and board capacities
• Current programs and services
• Demographic overview of clients and patrons
• Technical assistance needs
• Recommendations for strengthening the community center field's overall capacity

This information can help funders and national and state movement organizations better understand a critical part of the local LGBT nonprofit infrastructure. Funders can use it to identify populations, programs, and/or regions they would like to support.  You can access the report here: 2008 LGBT Community Center Survey Report
