Charitable Recipients
For over half a century, Excelsior M.C. has been passionately committed to giving back—championing causes that uplift the communities where we live, work, and play. While we've supported many organizations over the years, our recent philanthropic focus has centered on:
New Alternatives
New Alternatives increases the self-sufficiency of LGBTQ+ homeless youth by enabling them to transition out of the shelter system to stable adult lives. The organization does this through long-term support, weekly case management, education services, life skills training, community-building recreational activities, opportunities for self-expression, and programs for HIV+ youth.
Arts Project of Cherry Grove
The Arts Project of Cherry Grove is committed to preserving and celebrating LGBTQ+ history—past, present, and future—through the power of arts and culture. We provide a safe, supportive, and unapologetically queer space where artists can create and express themselves freely, without censorship or fear.
Fire Island Artist Residency
Fire Island Artist Residency (FIAR) is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 which brings lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, intersex and queer identifying emerging visual artists to Fire Island— a place long-steeped in LGBTQ history— to create, commune, rest, reflect and contribute to the location's rich artistic history.
