Lavender Policy Center

…Changing The System with Collective Passion

Who We Are - A Catalyst for Change in Hartford County, CT

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:

Offering Financial Relief

Assisting with the costs of life-saving treatments, including genetic-based therapies/counseling and HIV medications.

Tackling Systemic Disparities

Conducting research to identify and address root causes of food insecurity, healthcare inequities, and social isolation for seniors.

Empowering Communities

Providing tailored programs for education, support, and awareness to build resilience and self-advocacy.

Sustainable Impact Initiatives

Leading efforts in sustainability to ensure long-term benefits for both individuals and the community.

Advocating for Healthcare Access

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. 

Impact In Action

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. 

Research & Application

Our team consists of subject matter experts in Biotechnology, Healthcare, and Education. The LPC provides comprehensive solutions to various project management platforms and spearheads communication and compliance efforts with state and federal guidelines.
