Originally founded as a forward-thinking Think Tank, the Lavender Policy Center (LPC) has evolved into a leading organization dedicated to dismantling barriers that perpetuate inequalities in health and wellness. Rooted in Manchester, CT, the LPC serves as a hub for transformative initiatives that address the social determinants of health—the conditions in which individuals live, learn, work, and play, which heavily influence health outcomes.
The LPC’s mission extends beyond the LGBTQ+ community, championing inclusivity and equity for all individuals by:
Assisting with the costs of life-saving treatments, including genetic-based therapies/counseling and HIV medications.
Conducting research to identify and address root causes of food insecurity, healthcare inequities, and social isolation for seniors.
Providing tailored programs for education, support, and awareness to build resilience and self-advocacy.
Leading efforts in sustainability to ensure long-term benefits for both individuals and the community.
Ensuring underserved populations receive equitable opportunities to access critical medical services, even for our furry friends
Through collaborative partnerships and a solutions-driven approach, the LPC remains steadfast in its commitment to breaking cycles of poverty, discrimination, and health disparities. By addressing these interconnected challenges, our organization continues to create lasting change for individuals and families across Hartford County and beyond.
We pride ourselves on advocating for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. A cornerstone of LPC programming is advocacy for municipal policy reform to uplift LGBTQ+ individuals, and this has expanded into other high-impact areas to benefit marginalized communities.
Funding is a vital component of an organization’s growth and success. We are actively expanding our fundraising efforts and hosting event galas to inspire new sponsorships.
Fostering diversity of thought ensures better outcomes because our people are as unique as the communities we serve. We harness different perspectives, talents, and ideas to create an unparalleled experience.
