Support LGBTQ+ Inclusive Businesses and Organizations Through the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory
Choosing where you spend your money is powerful. By using the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory, you can directly support businesses and organizations that are not only inclusive but also actively advocate for and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
At the Chamber, we refer to this as "intentional spending" or "spending with purpose" when you intentionally choose to spend your dollars with businesses and organizations that share your values of diversity, equity, and inclusion and support the LGBTQ+ community.
Plus, spending dollars with LGBTQ+ supportive businesses and organizations means you are helping to drive economic opportunity for the LGBTQ+ and Allied community in the region.

About
In Houston, our nation's fourth-largest city, we have the largest medical complex in the world, but entire neighborhoods have limited access to healthcare and healthy food. We also have fourteen major institutions of higher education, almost all with students focusing on health- profession studies. These students have innovative ideas and a desire to make a difference in their communities, but they lack the connections and training to make their vision a reality. We work with over 40 area agencies, ascertaining their greatest needs, and then deploy our 80-plus trained graduate student Fellows to create programs that address these unmet health needs.
We support and guide these Fellows as they design, implement, evaluate, and plan for the sustainability of their project, serving as an incubator for their incentive ideas. At the end of the year, we have a cadre of service-oriented professionals with the skills and experiences to address health disparities and the commitment to continue to work with marginalized communities. In the process, the community is impacted, and Fellows are transformed.
