Q CENTER 2016 ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER FROM OUR
EXECUTIVE CO-DIRECTORS
What an incredible journey this year has been! Over the past 12 months
so many people have rallied to help sustain and transform Q Center.
We’re grateful for all the time and support from nonprofit community
partners, business leaders, foundations, and individual donors; front-desk
and administrative volunteers; our forward-thinking board of directors and
community engagement committee; and all the former and current staff
who have stuck with us through the rebound. Thank you all!
We believe that everyone deserves a sanctuary: A safe place where we
can find our community, our quirky niche, our family, and where we can
thrive and grow in our authenticity. Q Center is that sanctuary for many,
and through this transformative year it is becoming home for many others.
As we continue into 2016, we invite you to be part of shaping the future
of Q Center. In this report you’ll find many ways to participate in the Q
Center community and be part of our leadership and direction. Subscribe
to our monthly newsletter, follow us on Facebook, participate in events
and programs, and let us know about your experiences. If you like the work
we’re doing, then please consider volunteering or donating to support
our efforts. In the year ahead, we will continue building an LGBTQIA+
community center that honors the diverse experiences and collective
power of all of our sexual and gender minority communities. We hope
you will join us on this journey.
In Community, Strength, and Love,
Justin & Stacey

HOW WE
GOT HERE
In early 2015, Q Center’s interim board of directors sought
community feedback. Times had changed since Q Center
was established, and the center was in crisis. We needed
to know what had gone wrong, and what changes our
community would support.
Hundreds of community members showed up for
our town halls and focus groups, and nearly 300
people participated in an online community survey.
3 THEMES EMERGED
LEADERSHIP
PARTICIPATION
PROGRAMMING
Survey participants called for
stronger, more engaged, and more
accountable leadership. Over 40%
of respondents wanted greater
financial transparency.
As much as who was at Q Center,
respondents noticed who wasn’t.
Community members said we
needed to better welcome our
entire community, especially groups
that were proportionally underrepresented or had experienced
discrimination at Q Center.
Participants said that Q Center’s
core programs were important, in
some cases life-saving. For 46% of
respondents, space for socializing
and entertainment was just as vital
as direct services and peer support.
In 2015, community members called for
empowered leadership by trans women
and people of color at Q Center. Today
our executive leadership team consists
of one trans woman and one queer
cisgender man of color. More than half
our board are QTPOC (queer and trans
people of color), and 62% are trans or
gender nonbinary.
In the past year we’ve applied what we learned to
developing a new way forward for Q Center: An LGBTQIA+
community center dedicated to uplifting our entire
community through collaboration and service.

GROWING
SUSTAINABLY
Q Center started 2015 more than a million dollars in debt.
With just over $30,000 cash-on-hand, we had to make some
hard decisions. We partnered with New Avenues for Youth
to transition SMYRC (Portland’s Sexual and Gender Minority
Resource Center) to a nonprofit where it would thrive; reduced
staff by 80%; and worked with a longtime supporter to sell and
leaseback the building on North Mississippi Avenue.
Thanks to these measures, and all the help and support that
we’ve received, Q Center today is debt free. The doors are
open, our programs are growing, and we’ve recently hired two
new staff members!
Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening at Q Center in 2016.
Last summer we sold the building at
4115 North Mississippi Avenue for $1.2
million, with a generous leaseback
agreement from a longtime Q Center
supporter. After paying all buildingrelated debts, we gained $96,000.

WHAT HAPPENS
AT Q CENTER?
As a convener and community hub, Q Center connects
LGBTQIA+ community members and organizations through
direct services, peer-based support, and community building
events and activities. We believe in meeting people where
they are, engaging collaboratively, and sharing resources with
other nonprofits and public institutions, locally and statewide.
4
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
In 2015, Q Center received roughly 7,000 calls,
and more than 1,000 emails, 1,100 first-time
visitors, and 15,000 visits from LGBTQIA+ and
allied community members seeking support
through our senior community, affinity groups,
information and referral service, and volunteerrun events and drop-in space. This year we are
investing in our core programs through volunteer
leadership development and new staff hires.
Q CENTER EVENTS: A GATHERING
PLACE FOR PORTLAND’S LGBTQIA+
COMMUNITIES
Q Center events create opportunities for LGBTQIA+ people
of all ages to socialize, have fun, learn together, and build
community. We are committed to ensuring that Q Center’s
events appeal to the full diversity of our communities.
ENCOURAGING RESPECT FOR AGING
(*eRa*): LGBTQIA+ SENIOR COMMUNITY
BUILDING
With more than 200 members, Encouraging Respect for
Aging is Q Center’s community for LGBTQIA+ seniors.
Weekly activities include meal sharing, workshops, and
social events for community members who are 55 and older.
5
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, CONTINUED
AFFINITY GROUPS: PEER-BASED
SOCIALS, SUPPORT, AND RECOVERY
Twenty-five peer-led support and activity groups meet at Q
Center, offering community-based support for coming out,
recovery, social connection and activities, resource sharing,
and more. Q Center’s affinity groups were visited over
12,000 times in 2015.
INFORMATION & REFERRAL SERVICE:
LGBTQIA+ COMPETENT PROVIDER
REFERRALS
Front-desk volunteers and staff receive thousands of calls
every year from community members seeking culturally
competent and safe referrals. We’re currently updating
and expanding our provider database, which includes
emergency referrals for housing, medical care, and mental
health support both regionally and statewide.
6
WHO MAKES Q
CENTER RUN?
Q Center is currently run by a staff of five, 24 frontdesk volunteers, 27 affinity group facilitators,
and our board of directors and community
engagement committee. Altogether, community
members give an estimated 300 hours per
month to supporting events, programs, and
drop-in space at Q Center.

WHO USES
Q CENTER?
Q Center is the largest LGBTQIA+ community center in the
Pacific Northwest, proudly serving the LGBTQIA+ communities
of Portland Metro and Southwest Washington. Our drop-in and
event space on North Mississippi Avenue is a frequent first stop
for new arrivals in Portland, and for longtime residents who are
newly out or questioning their sexual or gender identity.

WHAT DOES IT
COST TO RUN
Q CENTER?
We cut costs significantly at the beginning of
2015, at first by reducing staff and shifting many
day-to-day tasks of running Q Center to our
board of directors and volunteers. By working
with community partners, we’ve also been able
to trim $24,000 from our general operating
expenses. This year Q Center is rebuilding with
community health and sustainability in mind.
OVERVIEW OF Q CENTER’S 2016 BUDGET AND REVENUE PLAN

$3,250/mo
Monthly operating expenses
include things like building

and accounting services, and
office and building supplies.
This amount has decreased
by 18% since the beginning
of 2015!
Q Center currently holds a
two-year lease on the North
Mississippi Avenue building,
with a mutual option to
renew in August 2017.
Salaries: $18,000
Payroll Taxes: $2,000
Employee Benefits: $3,000
In 2016 Q Center is thrilled to lease office

Welcoming Congregations, GayPDX,
and Sacred Vessel: Portland’s trans
and queer healthcare, research, and
advocacy center!

COMMUNITY GIVING
EARNED REVENUE
Like most nonprofits, Q Center depends on
investments from community members who
believe in our mission: Individuals, philanthropic
organizations, independently owned businesses,
and corporations.
We sublease office space and rent the
main auditorium, gallery, and conference
rooms for events, work parties, and more.
• Monthly Donors & Workplace Giving: $40,000
• Q Center Events: $45,000
• Individual Donations: $120,000
• Corporate & Business Community Giving:
$185,000
Since the beginning of 2015 we’ve made
vital changes to Q Center’s operations,
accounting, and budgeting systems. We’ve
moved many tasks to a cloud platform and
introduced layers of oversight and review
to increase transparency and accountability
between staff and board. We’ve also
released our annual 990 report for 2014:
http://tinyurl.com/QCtr2014-990
FOUNDATION GRANTS
In 2016 we will apply for foundation
grants to support capacity building
for Q Center’s Information & Referral,
Affinity Group, and Volunteer Leadership
Development programs.
In 2015 Q Center’s *eRa* LGBTQIA+ senior
program and affinity groups raised about
$2,000 monthly just by passing the hat in
group meetings! This community investment
is essential to Q Center’s sustainability.
10
WHAT’S NEW FOR Q
CENTER IN 2016?
NEW STAFF HIRES
We’re committed to expanding and developing our core programs
in 2016–and we have the people power to do it! In March 2016 we
hired two new part-time positions to manage and develop Q Center’s
events and programs. We’re working to make both positions fulltime before the end of the year.
PARTNERSHIPS AND PROJECTS
LGBTQIA+ people are impacted by social factors beyond sexual
or gender minority status. In 2016 we’re collaborating with other
nonprofits like PFLAG Portland Black Chapter, Social Justice Fund
Northwest, PFLAG Oregon, Pride Foundation, PFLAG Portland, and
Portland Jobs with Justice, Center for Intercultural Organizing, The
Bus Project, and more to help promote racial and economic justice
in our communities.
ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS
It is essential that Q Center’s drop-in space, events, and groups
be accessible to everyone. At the start of 2016 we’ve installed a
new mobility-device ramp to our auditorium’s main stage and we’re
offering American Sign Language interpretation at events and
meetings. There’s more to come!
CHANGING OUR LOOK
Starting in summer 2016, we’re making some big changes to the
Q Center building on North Mississippi Avenue! Look for a new
exterior mural celebrating local LGBTQIA+ community heroes, new
paint and artwork in our auditorium, and more.
