What is Queer Money Project?
Queer Money Project is a community mapping project of queer-owned businesses and organizations currently focused in New York City. Our goal is to serve as a resource and guide that makes finding queer-owned businesses, services, and providers accessible for members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and allies.
QMP was born in 2019 out of the intersection of life transition and years of making personal lists of queer-owned businesses. Eventually, we’d like for QMP to expand outside of NYC and provide guides everywhere from queer epicenters to small cities and towns. Submit a queer-owned business or reach out with any questions you may have about the project to hello@queermoneyproject.com.
Queer Money Project was founded by Victoria Rey and is a completely free resource. If you would like to contribute to sustaining QMP, you can do so here.
What is Community Mapping?
Community Mapping, also called Public Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS), is a tool that can be used to tell a story about what is happening in our communities.
Other community mapping projects include:
- The Addresses Project
Queer Money Project NYC
Google Map
Utilize our Google-based map to find queer-owned businesses physically based throughout NYC.
Queer-owned businesses that do not have a physical space open to the public.
This includes e-commerce, folks who operate out of a private studio, businesses that are on a pop-up model, and everywhere in between.
