Folsom Street East – New York, NY
FOLSOM STREET EAST is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization in New York City, producing fundraising events and serving the leather/fetish/kink community, the LGBT community and New York City at large.
Folsom Street East 2014
Our biggest annual event is the Folsom Street East street festival, the largest outdoor fetish street festival on the eastern coast, which brings thousands of sexy kinksters out onto the streets of New York City on a summer afternoon to celebrate sexual diversity and expression.
With your support, Folsom Street East has donated more than $250,000 since the first street fair in 1997 to local community organizations, including our 2012 and 2013 beneficiaries:
- THE CENTER: THE LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER
- THE NYC GAY & LESBIAN ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT (AVP)
- THE NATIONAL COALITION FOR SEXUAL FREEDOM (NCSF)
- HOUSING WORKS

The New York City Anti-Violence Project is dedicated to eliminating hate violence, sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-affected communities through counseling, advocacy, organizing, and public education.
Cycle for the Cause: The Northeast AIDS Ride is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center’s three-day, roughly 275-mile bike ride that begins in Boston and ends with a grand homecoming in New York City. With the help of our community, Cycle for the Cause has raised millions of dollars for the HIV and AIDS related programs and services of The Center.
Housing Works is a healing community of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Their mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain their efforts.
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom was formed in 1997 to fight for sexual freedom and privacy rights for all adults who engage in safe, sane and consensual behavior.
