Equality Florida is a political advocacy group that advocates civil rights and protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) residents of Florida, where several controversial laws have made life significantly harder for members of the LGBTQ community. Equality Florida consists of two organizations: the Equality Florida Institute, Inc., the 501(c)(3) educational charity, and the Equality Florida Action, Inc., the 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. Together with over 300,000 supporters, these organizations form the largest civil rights organization dedicated to Florida's LGBTQ community.
In addition to their work in Tallahassee, they collaborate with local partners, providing resources and helping to build coalitions that have passed pro-equality laws across the state. Equality Florida provides leadership trainings, volunteer opportunities, and sponsorship opportunities. Equality Florida has been ranked as a top-rated nonprofit by Great Nonprofits, Guidestar, and Charity Navigator.
