Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization that has served the bisexual community since 1985. Originally known as the East Coast Bisexual Network, the BRC is headquartered in Boston MA and provides education about bisexual and progressive issues and support for bisexual people. The organization, the most active American bisexual advocacy and resource group, sponsors bi-positive programming, a support group, promotes visibility at Pride events and provides speakers about bisexuality. It has a "long-standing role as a clearinghouse for bisexual information." Their role is international in scope, and they also maintain an archive and produce pamphlets, organize conferences and support groups, and work to educate the public.
The BRC publishes the biannual Bisexual Resource Guide, a comprehensive listing of bisexual and bi-inclusive organizations, bi-related books and films, web sites, and academic articles. The first edition was published in the mid-1980s.
