GayRotterdam - The Organization

Our site www.gayrotterdam.nl is a bit of a misnomer as we are a platform for ALL members of the LGBTI+ community in Rotterdam. The website is run by the organization GayRotterdam. We strive to be an independent source of informaton for and about the LGBTI+ community. Our online presence including our online community aims to cover everything that 'pink Rotterdam' has to offer. From addresses for aid and assistance in matters of health, safety and social issues to a list of gay-friendly hotspots to the latest developments in the city. 

GayRotterdam got its start with a grant from the Rotterdam city council with the goal of making Rotterdam a more inclusive and gay-friendly place. GayRotterdam wants to create more visibility for and acknowledgement of the LGBTI+ community. We work closely with all LGBTI+ organizations in Rotterdam and surrounding areas (including Schiedam, Capelle aan den IJssel, etc.).

Volunteer organisation

GayRotterdam is run exclusively by volunteers. Our enthusiastic editors, columnists, designers, photographers and social media experts are all passionate about Rotterdam and the LGBTI+ community. As a non-profit we depend completely on grants, donations and some ad revenue.
