AsylumConnect Revenue and Competitors

AsylumConnect is a nonprofit leveraging technology to facilitate the safe navigation of people fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. From leaving their dangerous home country to resettlement, it is often a matter of life-or-death for persecuted LGBTQ+ people to be able to easily identify and connect with legitimate and LGBTQ+ affirming lawyers and other direct service providers. Launched in 2016 in the U.S., the “AsylumConnect Catalog” is the first resource website and mobile app designed for the tens of thousands of people fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity each year. LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and other LGBTQ+ people in need (including undocumented LGBTQ+ immigrants and homeless LGBTQ+ youth) use the AsylumConnect Catalog as a free 24/7 digital one-stop-shop to meet all of their critical human needs, including: housing, food, hygiene and clothing, legal, medical, mental health, community support, translation, transportation, education and employment services. Lawyers also use the free app to easily gather verified medical, mental health and social service referrals for LGBTQ+ clients. AsylumConnect's full resource website and mobile app is currently available in 25 U.S. states and Canada. For holistic impact, we also offer translated resource pages for persecuted LGBTQ+ people who are in Mexico and those who are still in transit to a safer destination country. When AsylumConnect reaches scale, every LGBTQ+ person should know where it is safe to go for help regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status or income level.
