To Proudly Go Inc. began with an idea to support the LGBTQIA+ community through donation partnerships with organizations working on queer issues that help build a better world today. We celebrate science fiction, like Star Trek, to show that through the generosity and compassion of the human spirit we can achieve a future where we can all succeed through unity and purpose, expand our knowledge, and improve the human condition.

Since we began on March 1, 2021, we’ve been proud to raise over $15,000.00 for charity.
