Supporting LGBTQ+ Stories with Every Purchase
At The Inclusive Brew, our mission has always been rooted in more than just creating a space—it’s about building community, celebrating identity, and uplifting voices that deserve to be heard. Even before our doors open, we are committed to making an impact by aligning with organizations that reflect these values.
That’s why we are proud to share that 10% of all purchases will be donated to Lambda Literary—an organization dedicated to nurturing and celebrating LGBTQ+ literature.
Why Stories Matter
Stories shape who we are. They give us a sense of belonging, reflect our histories, and spark visions of what’s possible. For LGBTQ+ people, finding those stories has often been a challenge—whether because they weren’t written, weren’t published, or weren’t given the visibility they deserved.
Lambda Literary has been working for decades to change that narrative. By championing LGBTQ+ writers and readers, they ensure that queer voices not only exist on the page, but thrive. Their work reminds us that stories are not just entertainment—they are lifelines.
The Work of Lambda Literary
Lambda Literary creates opportunities for writers, readers, and communities to connect through LGBTQ+ storytelling. Some of their most impactful initiatives include:
The Lambda Literary Awards (the “Lammys”) – Honoring the best LGBTQ+ books each year, across every genre from poetry and memoir to romance and fiction. These awards highlight excellence and ensure queer literature continues to gain recognition.
Writers Retreat for Emerging LGBTQ+ Voices – A one-of-a-kind residency that helps nurture the next generation of queer authors, giving them mentorship, resources, and a supportive community to grow their craft.
LGBTQ+ Writers in Schools – Bringing queer literature and authors into classrooms, giving young readers the chance to see themselves represented in the books they study.
Community Programs & Advocacy – Supporting small presses, established authors, and emerging talent alike, ensuring LGBTQ+ literature flourishes in a publishing world that doesn’t always make space for it.
How Your Purchase Helps
Every purchase through The Inclusive Brew becomes part of this mission. 10% of all sales go directly to Lambda Literary, helping them continue their groundbreaking work.
That means:
More emerging writers can access mentorship and resources.
More LGBTQ+ youth can see themselves reflected in their schools’ reading lists.
More authors can receive the recognition they deserve, bringing their stories to wider audiences.
When you shop with us, you’re not only supporting our vision—you’re also fueling the visibility, celebration, and preservation of LGBTQ+ stories.
Why This Matters to The Inclusive Brew
Representation is powerful. Just as Lambda Literary works to make sure queer stories are seen, read, and celebrated, The Inclusive Brew is working to create a community space where those same values of visibility, affirmation, and belonging come to life.
