Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To inform, inspire, enlighten and foster an appreciation for the extraordinary role gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people have played to advance world history and culture.

  • The Legacy Walk is a rotating outdoor GLBT history exhibit in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. Some of the plaques commemorate significant events in GLBT history, but most memorialize the lives and work of notable gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender individuals whose achievements have helped shape the world - but whose contributions, sexual orientation or gender identity have been overlooked, minimized or censored entirely from most historic texts.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
