🌟 Why It Matters:
The LGBT Asylum Project is the only San Francisco nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to providing accessible legal representation for LGBT asylum seekers who are fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or HIV status.

Donations enable the LGBT Asylum Project to cover the cost of direct legal representation for their clients, which averages $4,000 per client. Legal representation will cost a typical asylum seeker between $6,000 and $15,000 if paid privately, yet asylum applicants are not authorized to work in the United States. According to the 2025 State of Immigration Report, the disparity in asylum grant rates is stark: In 2024, 53% of represented asylum seekers were granted asylum. During the same period, only 19% of those without legal representation were granted asylum.

Every performance, every story, and every spotlight supports The LGBT Asylum Project (Center for Immigration Protection) — providing free, life-saving legal representation for LGBTQ immigrants and fighting for their freedom to remain in the US and live a life free from life-threatening persecution. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we support the work of organizations that are advocating for our LGBTQ+ immigrant community members.
