Equality North Carolina is a public policy organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, focused on advancing LGBTQ+ rights and social justice through advocacy, education, leadership development, and community base-building. The group emphasizes strategic, sustainable work that centers individuals and seeks to elevate marginalized communities, with a commitment to intersectional justice that includes race, immigration status, gender identity, and other factors. Its activities include cross-sector alliances with business and public leaders, training for diverse stakeholders, and efforts to translate policy goals into practical implementations that protect safety and promote acceptance for LGBTQ North Carolinians.

Founded as a defense fund in 1979, the organization has evolved into a statewide social justice entity that operates at both grassroots and legislative levels to pursue legal rights and lived equality. Serving a broad audience across North Carolina, it aims to uplift queer and trans voices and address barriers to equity across different communities, including rural areas and marginalized groups. A recent development highlighted by the organization includes participation in Give OUT Day 2026 to support statewide advocacy and community initiatives.
