UNION STATION
FOUNDATION
COMMUNITY. CONNECTION. CARE
Union Station Foundation, started in 2001, is the charitable arm of the Axis and Union family, dedicated to giving back to the LGBTQ+ community that has supported us for decades. Born from our deep roots within the LGBTQ+ spaces of Columbus, our foundation exists to create meaningful, ongoing impact for those who need it most.
WHAT WE DO
Union Station Foundation raises funds year-round through community events, partnerships, and our highly anticipated Pride festivals. Every dollar we raise goes back into the LGBTQ+ community through:
🌈 Direct Donations to local LGBTQ+ individuals, groups, and initiatives
🌈 Fundraising Campaigns supporting critical programs and resources
🌈 Partnerships with LGBTQ+-Friendly Health Services, including mental health, sexual health, and wellness providers
We believe that Pride is more than a moment, it’s a movement that deserves action all year long. Whether we’re celebrating, fundraising, or advocating, our mission is clear: to uplift, empower, and protect our LGBTQ+ family.
WHY IT MATTERS
LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face unique challenges—from healthcare disparities to discrimination and mental health barriers. Through Union Station Foundation, we actively support organizations and services that create safer, healthier spaces for our community to thrive.
When you support Union Station Foundation, you’re investing in a future where every LGBTQ+ person feels seen, valued, and cared for.
