GLBT Community Centers Continue Providing Vital Services During the Economic Downturn

While the economic downturn has taken a toll on many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community centers, these centers continue to provide vital information, education, community and health services to over 30,000 people per week, according to a new report by the Movement Advancement Project (MAP) and CenterLink.

Released today at the fourth annual CenterLink Leadership Summit, the 2010 LGBT Community Center Survey Report provides a detailed picture of LGBT community centers' staffs and boards, program priorities, constituencies, infrastructure, fundraising, budgets and technical assistance needs.
