About QBA

Money is power. And for too long, queer entrepreneurs have been shut out of the rooms where funding decisions are made. QBA exists to change that.

We believe that when LGBTQ+ business owners have access to capital, they don’t just build companies – they build economic power for our entire community. Every grant we award is a direct transfer of financial control back to queer hands, creating businesses that hire our people, serve our needs, and prove our worth in the marketplace.

Traditional funding systems weren’t built for us. So we’re building our own. Through targeted business grants, we’re not just supporting individual dreams – we’re systematically redistributing economic power to create a more equitable future where queer entrepreneurs can thrive on their own terms.

Because when we control the capital, we control our destiny.

Championing queer, transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming businesses and entrepreneurs.

We are the Queer Business Alliance, with an emphasis on Queer. The QBA is a trans/gender non-conforming committed organization that aims to champion this community. We do not require an application or certification program so there is no need for proving a gender identity – something that creates an additional barrier for this specific community.
