<strong>OutReach</strong><br />
<strong>LGBT</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
<strong>2016</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
<strong>OutReach</strong> mission statement:<br />
To promote equality and quality of life for <strong>LGBT</strong> people through community<br />
building and human services.<br />
<strong>OutReach</strong> <strong>LGBT</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Center</strong> had a great year in <strong>2016</strong>! We saw continued growth in<br />
attendance at our social, support, and outreach groups and events, we maintained our trend<br />
of financial security, and, perhaps most importantly, we moved from our longtime home on<br />
Williamson Street to our new location at 2701 International Lane. We are excited to use this<br />
new space to continue expanding and improving the services we provide for south central<br />
Wisconsin’s <strong>LGBT</strong> community.<br />
In <strong>2016</strong>, we have continued educating the public about the needs of <strong>LGBT</strong> communities.<br />
One avenue of education are our Speakers Bureau Events; in <strong>2016</strong> we provided speakers for<br />
more Speakers Bureau events than in 2015. Transgender health was a key education area for<br />
<strong>OutReach</strong> in <strong>2016</strong>. Darla Lannert, <strong>OutReach</strong>’s Transgender Health Consultant, performed a<br />
variety of trainings and education sessions about transgender issues at local businesses and<br />
other organizations. These trainings have been in high demand, so we were excited to win<br />
an additional $10,000 grant in December from the University of Wisconsin Morgridge<br />
<strong>Center</strong> Philanthropy Lab, in addition to existing state funding, to allow us to continue and<br />
expand on this important work in 2017.<br />
This past year has also allowed us to continue and grow on existing strengths. <strong>OutReach</strong>’s<br />
<strong>2016</strong> Pride Parade saw the largest attendance yet, as thousands of people attended the<br />
parade in downtown Madison. We also saw increases in the number of social and support<br />
group meetings held in our space and in the number of volunteer hours. We are grateful to<br />
all our volunteers for their dedication, and we are proud to be able to provide a home for<br />
all the different groups that use our space. We hope to continue these trends in 2017.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> ! !2
<strong>Annual</strong> Highlight: <strong>OutReach</strong> moved!<br />
In June of <strong>2016</strong>, <strong>OutReach</strong> moved from our previous home on Williamson Street to 2701<br />
International Lane, Suite 101.<br />
More and Brighter Space<br />
As we have continued to host more and more social and support groups, we found that<br />
the Williamson Street location simply could not accommodate our ever-growing capacity<br />
needs. The International Lane location has 2,700 sq. ft. of space compared to our previous<br />
1,900. In that extra space, we have gained an additional conference room and an<br />
additional staff office. The layout has also changed, so that now the Earl Greely Memorial<br />
Library space is separate from the meeting rooms. This means that we can host multiple<br />
groups at the same time with increased privacy while still allowing for visitors to the Library.<br />
The main conference room and staff offices at the International Lane location have large<br />
windows, which let in much more natural light that we had on Williamson Street, making<br />
the space more appealing for visitors, group attendees, and clients.<br />
Parking had also become a constraint at our previous location. The International Lane<br />
location has a much more spacious parking lot. We never want clients or visitors to worry<br />
that they can’t visit <strong>OutReach</strong> because they won’t be able to find a place to park, and our<br />
new location addresses this need.<br />
New Address:<br />
2701 International Lane,<br />
Suite 101<br />
Cost Savings<br />
In addition to a substantial increase in space and parking capacity, we are also saving<br />
about $1,000/month in rent, utilities, and parking costs compared to what we were paying<br />
at our old location.<br />

“Many years ago, when I found<br />
out my husband had been<br />
unfaithful with men, I called<br />
<strong>OutReach</strong> to find a support<br />
group for him […] in addition to<br />
giving me information for my<br />
husband, [the director] also<br />
gave me information about a<br />
support group for myself. It<br />
literally saved my life. Thank<br />
you!”<br />
