Northwest Arkansas Equality

Northwest Arkansas Equality is a nonprofit organization providing programming, education, and advocacy to serve, connect, and empower the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) residents of Benton and Washington Counties. In addition to being recognized as the regional voice for equality and inclusion, we provide free HIV/STI testing services, various support groups, resources, and social, cultural, and community outreach events. Each summer we produce Northwest Arkansas Pride, the state’s largest LGBTQ celebration. Today, NWA Equality's services, events, and partnerships impact over 30,000 people throughout the greater Ozarks region.
