About Rainbow Railroad 
 
Rainbow Railroad is an international nonprofit organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing 
persecution find pathways to safety. Since our founding in 2006, we have supported over 25,000 
at-risk LGBTQI+ people and have become a global leader in advocating for LGBTQI+ rights within 
the context of forced displacement. We work at the intersection of LGBTQI+ identities and 
forced displacement as direct service providers, advocates, thought leaders, and movement 
strategists. Our mission is guided by a commitment to becoming a refugee-led and 
refugee-informed organization, centering the voices, leadership, and experiences of LGBTQI+ 
people affected by forced displacement. 
 
Rainbow Railroad is a registered charity in Canada and a U.S. 501(c)3 organization with offices in
