Support Compass
Thank you for supporting Compass, the only direct service provider for the LGBTQ community in Palm Beach County. Your donation is a direct investment in our community and is a testament to the success of our mission: Compass aims to diminish stereotypes by challenging long-standing misconceptions about the character of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. We accomplish this by emboldening our youth, promoting pride in our community and as acting as an educator, advocate, health service provider and focal point for community organizing.
As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community members to help us achieve our mission.

Our annual Pride Guide is THE authority on these businesses and all members are listed on our website's business directory.

Consider Estate Planning
Estate planning might feel overwhelming, but it’s a crucial step to ensure your wishes are honored, your assets are distributed according to your intentions, and your loved ones are protected for the future.
No matter your financial situation, having a will and an estate plan is essential. Begin by listing your assets—such as property, investments, and personal belongings—and clarifying your goals. Whether you aim to provide for your family, support a favorite cause, or manage taxes, a well-thought-out plan secures your intentions.
We recommend working with an estate planning attorney to create a comprehensive plan that is tailored to your needs and compliant with state laws. Compass is here to discuss how a charitable estate gift can make a meaningful difference in the LGBTQ+ community.
