For Us, By Us is more than a name — it’s a mission to redefine what community looks like.

Right now, we need your help.
We’re a grassroots movement led with heart and built for LGBTQ+ people and allies — but we can’t take our next step without funding.

We’re ready to officially register as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, but the legal and government fees are expensive. This has been the hardest part so far, and we can’t do it without you.

Please consider donating — even $1 helps.
Every dollar goes directly toward making this dream official and accessible to more people.

Donate here: https://www.forusbyuspgh.org/donate

We’re creating something special:
A safe, inclusive, heart-led community where people feel seen, understood, connected, and empowered. This is about building warmth, belonging, and change — from the inside out.

If you can’t give right now, you can still support us in 3 important ways:
✨ Apply to work with us — be part of the change
✨ Share this post to your feed — let others hear our story
✨ Join our email chain — stay connected as we grow

Every interaction, every share, every message — it keeps us going. It shows us that these small steps are building something bigger.

With love,
— Chandler & the FUBU Team 🫂🌈
“Built with love. Built for us.”

Welcome to For Us, By Us

For Us, By Us is a grassroots, LGBTQ+ led nonprofit based in Pittsburgh. We’re creating healing-centered spaces for q***r people to feel safe, supported, and whole — because we deserve that. Because we always have.

No corporations.
No rainbow capitalism.
Just us. Just heart.

We want to rest.
We want to heal.
We want to live.

This is about joy. This is about justice. This is about remembering that we are not broken — just born into systems that told us we were.

We’re building trauma-informed support spaces, developing creative tools for healing, and helping schools, workplaces, and communities show up better for LGBTQ+ people.

What does that look like?
🌈 Creating inclusive, affirming spaces
🧠 Implementing meaningful DEI strategies
💗 Supporting public health and mental wellness
🗣️ Offering trauma-informed language and care
📚 Understanding the impacts of identity-based trauma
🛠️ Equipping people with self-care, boundaries, and burnout tools
📝 Using writing prompts and creative healing practices
🤝 Facilitating open, peer-led conversations and education
🏳️‍⚧️ Promoting allyship that goes beyond rainbows in June
📍 Connecting people to affirming resources and community
💬 Building cultures rooted in compassion, curiosity, and accountability

If this speaks to you, you’re exactly who we’re here for.

And we need help — in all forms:
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 People to join our leadership
👐 Folks who can share/repost this
💸 Supporters who can donate or share
📍 Folks interested in volunteering.

✨ You can find all of that (and more) on our website:

This isn’t just a page. This is a movement.
Let’s build it — for us, by us.

Queer-led. Healing-centered. Community-powered.
