Our Mission
To create experiences for the queer community and their allies with proceeds benefiting local organizations who support the health, wellness and quality of life for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Heartland of America.
How We Do It
Heartland Queer Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We sponsor fundraising events that support essential LGBTQIA+ services through proceeds generate from events produced by our organization.
Why We Do It
Established in 2021, HQP was the vision of a group of friends who sought to create unique queer experiences, to build community within the diverse Heartland LGBTQIA+ populace and support organizations that align with our mission.
We are a small group of unpaid volunteers who enjoy partying with purpose.
