The next generation of LGBTQ leaders

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 though meaningful monthly social, volunteer, and educational events, we aim to inspire a lifelong passion for philanthropy among next generation leaders.
