Benefits of Membership
Rainbow Families is a nonprofit service organization, dedicated to the support, empowerment, and education of LGBTQ+ families, prospective parents, and allies.
Becoming a Rainbow Families member brings about several benefits as detailed below.
Important: Should membership dues or other fees present a roadblock to participation, please send an email in confidence to our us at info@rainbowfamilies.org. Rainbow Families does not want economics to be a factor in connecting with our community and/or receiving benefit or services of membership.
Member-Only Resources
Rainbow Families’ members get access to member-only resources including our Member Directory, our private Facebook Group, and our expanded Resource Directory that includes member reviews (coming soon).
No-Cost Support Groups
Rainbow Families offers a variety of support groups for LGBTQ+ parents and prospective parents. Members are able to join any support group at no additional cost, while non-members pay between $40-$60 for support group access.
Early Access to Signature Events

Rainbow Families’ members receive discounts on nearly all of paid ticketed events and families can save over $100 per person in event registration fees annually. Additionally, Rainbow Families’ waives registration fees for events for members where possible.
Join a Community of LGBTQ+ Families
By becoming a Rainbow Families’ member, you and your family join hundreds of other LGBTQ+ families in the DMV all seeking community. You’ll be connected to life-long friends, be able to host playdates in your neighborhood with Rainbow Families’ support, and, most importantly, your children will be connected to other families just like theirs!
