How you can help
DONATE
Santa Marta Center relies on donations from the worldwide community to support our residents. Your generosity provides comprehensive support and emergency shelter for LGBTIQ+ young adults in El Salvador facing homelessness and violence.
Your gift today will go to work right away and all year long.
We receive donations through the Rainbow World Fund. All gifts are tax-deductible (Rainbow World Fund EIN# 94-3372560).

​
A monthly donation of $30 is almost 1/10th of our annual budget!
For just a dollar a day, you can change lives.​​​

Thank you for your support!

Where does my money go?
Every month, we receive a transfer of donations sent to our partners in the United States. Here in El Salvador, we pay our staff and purchase material support for our clients. Below is a summary of expenses from 2022.
​
In addition to providing support directly to LGBTQ+ folks who have been kicked out of their homes, this program provides employment opportunities to talented staff who face discrimination in other workplaces.
