About

Who we are

Our Family Coalition advances equity for the full and expanding spectrum of LGBTQ families and children through support, education, and advocacy.

Our History

OFC began when two Bay Area grassroots community-based organizations merged in the late 1990s. We’ve grown over the years to become the leading LGBTQ+ family advocacy agency in the state, and one of the few such organizations of this size nation-wide. Individual families continue to be our inspiration; collective liberation and well-being continues to be our mission.

Our Vision

We seek to create an inclusive and just world where all LGBTQ families and children have visibility and opportunities to thrive as valued participants in our schools, institutions, and communities.

Theory of Change

Our Family Coalition brings a unique and progressive voice of families to the LGBTQ movement. We cultivate community-based leadership among LGBTQ families and strong partnerships with our allies in California, to advance social justice and make our nation a more respectful and inclusive place for all.
