About the Community Needs Assessment

Our three-part Community Needs Assessment gathered critical insights about the needs, priorities, and challenges faced by LGBTQIA2S+ communities in Minnesota. This assessment will help shape policies, funding priorities, and advocacy efforts to better serve our communities.

We collected data and insights through:

• Community Needs Survey for LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans 18 and over, as well as a survey for parents/caregivers of LGBTQIA2S+ youth

• Community Conversations with underrepresented members of our communities 

• Organization and Provider Survey for organizations that serve LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans in any way, whether your work focuses directly on LGBTQIA2S+ communities or includes them as part of a broader mission
