History of the NWA Center for Equality

The NWA Center for Equality was founded in June 2006 by concerned citizens who saw a need in Northwest Arkansas.  Though it may have seemed an insurmountable task at the time, the Center now serves as an advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality throughout the region.  Numerous individuals are to thank for the thousands of volunteer hours and selfless monetary contributions that have been donated since inception.  Today the Center continues to strive to achieve the mission through its programming and day-to-day operations.
 

As a fledgling organization that functions solely on volunteer efforts, your donation is appreciated.  Visit the Take Action page for a list of ways you can make a difference.  Opportunities include becoming a member of the Center, volunteering, making a monetary or in-kind investment, and several other ways.  The NWA Center for Equality is a not-for-profit organization.  Donations (monetary and in-kind) are fully tax deductible in accordance with its 501(c)3 status.
