What initially started as an idea for a charitable happy hour has blossomed into a broader organization with a mission to attract like-minded individuals who celebrate and uplift the Greater Cincinnati LGBTQ+ community.
At Queen City Charities, we partner with community and business leaders to raise funds and award grants to local organizations that seek to build bridges and address some of the most significant challenges facing Greater Cincinnati’s LGBTQ+ population.
The spark that launched a drag-themed happy hour in 2021 ultimately became the foundation for our annual signature event, Wigs & Waffles. Since June 2021, our events have raised over $600,000 to support local LGBTQ+ Causes.
GRANTMAKING
At Queen City Charities, we’ve committed to focusing our efforts on uplifting local and regional organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community. We know we can’t solve every problem, but we can leverage our efforts in meaningful ways that affect both long- and short-term change right here in our own backyard. That is why we are committed to funding grants that are used within our own community.
In 2025, we awarded $75,000 to 14 organizations supporting the Greater Cincinnati LGBTQ+ community!
