We first began as SAGE Albuquerque in 2013, as a local affiliate to the Sage National Organization. In 2022, we adopted the new name Older Rainbow Community of Albuquerque (ORCA) and became a local partner to the newly organized SAGECollab and we are affiliated with SAGE-USA. ORCA is partnered with and fiscally sponsored by Equality New Mexico (EQNM), one of the state’s oldest and largest LGBTQ advocacy nonprofits.

ORCA is a volunteer-based organization that is directly guided by a Steering Committee (SCORCA) leadership team. ORCA events and social gatherings are organized and hosted by volunteers. ORCA contracts facilitators and local advocates for training and other professional outreach and advocacy services. Come to the ORCA monthly meeting and meet the SCORCA members and other volunteers that make up ORCA.
