Supporting Queer Mental Health in Central Virginia Since 2026
The Queer Therapy Fund (QTF) is a community-led, non-profit fund dedicated to directly supporting the mental health of queer/LGBTQ+ folks in the Charlottesville area. QTF will help connect people with local mental health resources and practitioners to provide no/low-cost therapy to members of the queer community who are unable to access care due to financial constraints. QTF will also support initiatives such as group therapy sessions, wellness events, and other projects that seek to meet the mental health needs of our LGBTQ+ community.
Queer Therapy Fund is a fiscally sponsored project of Fight Like A Grrrl, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers free self-defense workshops across central Virginia. They strive to empower people with the skills to protect their physical and emotional well-being through intersectional feminist self-defense education, with a focus on accessibility, inclusivity, and community resilience.
