The Stonewall Gives Back Initiative (SIGBI) stands as a beacon of hope and progress within the LGBTQ+ community, channeling the spirit of resilience and activism that ignited the historic Stonewall Riots of 1969 into tangible support and advocacy. Rooted in the ethos of inclusivity and solidarity, SIGBI's work from upholding the legacy of the iconic Stonewall Inn to its expansive charitable endeavors exemplifies a steadfast commitment to fostering equality and empowerment.
The legacy of SIGBI can be traced back to 2006 when The Stonewall Inn’s owners rescued it from obscurity, transforming it into a vibrant hub of LGBTQ+ culture and activism. Recognizing the importance of reclaiming and preserving LGBTQ+ history, The Stonewall Inn’s owners embarked on a multifaceted approach to reintroduce The Stonewall Inn as not merely a bar but a symbol of resilience and community.
