Circle of Life

You’re Invited to Join the Center’s Circle of Life

The Circle of Life is a special group of supporters who are an unstoppable force in the fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better and more welcoming world for LGBT people.

You can join this group when you leave a gift in your will, trust, or other account for the Center. And when you do, championing and supporting LGBT people everywhere becomes a core value of your life. 

Please let us know if you’ve named the Center in your estate plans. We’d like to recognize you for your generosity and commitment and we’ll acknowledge you for making this commitment by welcoming you into the Circle of Life.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, if you have any questions about setting up your legacy gift or if you need any additional information. We’re here to help. Thank you for your generous support!

In recognition of their commitment to the ongoing work of the Los Angeles LGBT Center, we honor the Founders and Members of the Circle of Life.

In planning their estates, these donors have joined together to create a living legacy of hope for coming generations of LGBT people. Founders have made commitments of $1,000,000 or more.
