Membership

The LGBT Congressional Staff Association is committed to diversity and inclusion. We believe no staffer, intern or fellow should be denied the ability to experience the benefits of Membership due to a financial barrier. To that end, we are proud to introduce the “Pay It Forward” program which allows current LGBT CSA members to sponsor membership dues for individuals who demonstrate financial need. The additional amount of $20 will be 100% used to offset membership dues of new interns/fellows and staffers with financial hardship. Any money donated through the “Pay it Forward” program will be completely separate from our general budget and earmarked solely for helping new members in need.

If you have any questions about becoming a member, “Paying It Forward” to lend a hand to new LGBT CSA members, or would like to avail yourself of this confidential program, please contact our Membership Director, Jolie Rosenberg at Jolie.Rosenberg@mail.house.gov

If you are not eligible for membership but would still like to donate, you can do so on our Donate page.
