Manchester True Collaborative

Creating a Safe, Brave Space in Manchester NH

Who We Are

At Manchester True Collaborative (MTC), our mission is simple but vital: we create a safe, brave, and affirming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals of all ages across New Hampshire. We are a community-focused organization dedicated entirely to providing the life-affirming programs, supportive resources, and connection-building events that our queer community needs to thrive.

Whether it's a small social hour or a huge event like Manchester Pride, MTC is powered 100% by volunteers. Every dollar we fundraise goes straight back into growing our offerings and resources to create a hub of LGBTQIA+ community in the Granite State.

What We Do

We meet the diverse needs of New Hampshire's LGBTQ+ community through direct, impact-driven initiatives:

• Empowering Youth Programming: LGBTQ+ youth face unique challenges. We provide dedicated, adult-supported spaces where queer youth can find mentorship, express themselves creatively, and build friendships with peers who truly understand them.

• Lifelong Community Events: From social gatherings to educational workshops, we host events that bring LGBTQ+ individuals of all ages together, fostering intergenerational connection and reducing isolation.

• Essential Resources & Support: We connect individuals and families with affirming local resources, peer support groups, and the tools they need to navigate life safely and authentically.

Why We Need Your Support

For 24 hours during NH Gives, your generosity helps us keep our doors open and our programs free and accessible. Creating dedicated spaces for the LGBTQ+ community—especially our youth—saves lives, builds resilience, and strengthens the fabric of Manchester and beyond.

Your donation today directly funds:

• Safe spaces and supplies for our youth groups.

• Community-wide events that foster queer joy and connection.

• The expansion of our support networks and resource sharing.

Whether you can give $10 or $100, every dollar stays right here in New Hampshire to support the people who need it most. Thank you for helping us build a safer, more connected community!
