Stonewall Quarter Share (SQS) is an initiative for emerging leaders who, through grassroots organizing, help advance vital LGBTQ+ programs and services in New York City. SQS functions as a giving circle, sustaining Stonewall’s broader work, while giving its members a unique opportunity to participate in the grantmaking process and learn about the local nonprofit landscape. Building community and a culture of giving through monthly social, volunteer, and educational events, we aim to inspire a lifelong passion for philanthropy among next generation leaders.

Upcoming events:

  • Wednesday, November 19: Private Screening of Sean Baker’s Tangerine at Nitehawk Cinema, followed by Q&A. Register here!
