MEET QWELL, GREATER AUSTIN’S LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Greater Austin has the nation’s 3rd largest % population of openly LGBTQIA+ people.

  • QWELL is dedicated to helping every LGBTQIA+ resident improve their health, wealth, and wellbeing
  • Our work is grounded in data: Nearly 8,000 people have participated in our annual anonymous LGBTQIA+ Wellbeing Survey.
  • Dozens of organizations and hundreds of community members helped create QWELL’s plans.

With your help, we can build a better future for our local LGBTQIA+ community here in Greater Austin, Texas. 

Austin LGBTQIA+ Community Centers

QWELL and our developer are looking for land on which to build multiple mixed-use developments around Greater Austin that each include:

  • An Austin Outpost LGBTQIA+ Community Center on the top floor;
  • Ground-floor restaurant and retail to activate the neighborhood;
  • Hundreds of units of queer-friendly affordable or senior housing; and,
  • Offices and clinical spaces for our nonprofit partners.

Greater Austin has the nation’s third-largest openly LGBTQIA+ population per capita, and with your support, QWELL can help every one live happily ever after here in Central Texas.

QTPOC PRIDE

QWELL co-produces Austin’s Colors of Pride Gathering celebrating all queer/trans people of color (QTPOC) in partnership with allgo, Austin Latinx Pride, Austin Queer Asians, Queer Black Women Alliance, KHUSH ATX, and other LGBTQIA+ leaders of color. Actively seeking sponsors.

5,000+ VOLUNTEERS have stepped up to fly rainbow flags all over Greater Austin (Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Hays, and Caldwell Counties) thanks to our FreePrideFlag.com sponsors.

Now QWELL’s Texan Courage program invites all our friends in Texas to show their bravery by flying rainbow flags, too. We need to change the climate in Texas and “Visibility is Power.”

Courage is contagious.

THE FUTURE IS UP TO US

We’re building a grassroots movement to make Greater Austin the best place in the world for LGBTQIA+ people to live, love, learn, work, and play.
