We are LGBTQIA+ and Ally people who stopped waiting for the world to change and started building a better world.

We want all 42MM LGBTQIA+ U.S. residents to find the connections they need to thrive. So QWELL is building 30 new LGBTQIA+ Community Centers with Affordable Housing and an anonymous social networking app that turns everyday spending into massive impact on queer wellbeing.

The United States glowing in rainbow light from space, cities connected by a web of light beneath a rising sun
“LGBTQIA+ liberation stands for a change in the lived experience of all LGBTQIA+ people, not just the advancement of rights for some.”

Brick & Mortar

Irresistible.

Local organizations choose the site. QWELL's developer finances construction end to end, including shops, restaurants, affordable housing, and a top floor of LGBTQIA+ community gathering spaces, clinics, offices, and recreation — owned and run by local nonprofit organizations, with funding support from QWELL's app.

30 Centers strategically located to reach every U.S. resident
$0 Cost for the building. All we have to do is decorate.
100% Designed for maximum community engagement
Dream Bigger

This is our
moonshot.

Do more than imagine a bright queer future —
You can help QWELL take it from “doable” to “DONE.”

Corporate sponsorships, monthly donations, and volunteers fuel this vision.
