''Straight for Equality'' is a national outreach and education project created by PFLAG National to empower new straight allies and trans allies who, unlike a more traditional PFLAG member, do not necessarily have a family or friend connection to the LGBTQ community. The Straight for Equality project was launched in 2007. This nationwide initiative expanded the organization's efforts to include more people in the equality movement.

Since the 2007 launch, Straight for Equality in the Workplace has been PFLAG's most successful initiative, with an array of workshops available to corporations in the US. In 2009, PFLAG launched Straight for Equality in Healthcare to educate and engage healthcare providers in all disciplines to be more culturally inclusive in their work. In 2012, PFLAG launched Straight for Equality in Faith Communities,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.straightforequality.org/Faith|title=Faith|access-date=2013-12-13|archive-date=2013-12-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203113905/http://www.straightforequality.org/Faith|url-status=dead}}</ref> which features faith-focused resources and tools for people of all denominations to start having critical conversations in their faith communities to create more welcoming institutions. And in 2014, PFLAG launched a new trans ally program through Straight for Equality.

Each year since 2009, PFLAG National has held the Straight for Equality Awards Gala, the only awards gala that exclusively celebrates the contributions of straight allies to the movement for LGBTQ equality.  Past winners include civil rights pioneers like [[Maya Angelou]] and [[Johnnetta B. Cole]]; entertainer [[Liza Minnelli]]; actors [[Rosie Perez]], [[Patrick Stewart]], [[Martha Plimpton]], and [[Sigourney Weaver]]; Broadway stars [[Audra McDonald]] and [[Will Swenson (actor)|Will Swenson]]; sports icons [[Brendon Ayanbadejo]], [[Scott Fujita]], [[Chris Kluwe]], and [[Hudson Taylor (wrestler)|Hudson Taylor]]; authors [[Charlaine Harris]] and [[John Irving]]; faith leaders like [[Jay Bakker]]; and organizations including [[IBM]], [[KPMG]], [[MetLife]], [[Sodexo]], and [[Whirlpool Corporation|Whirlpool]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.straightforequality.org/gala |title=The Straight for Equality Gala |publisher=Straight For Equality |date=2015-01-22 |access-date=2015-06-09 |archive-date=2017-12-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214121326/http://www.straightforequality.org/gala |url-status=dead }}</ref>

''Cultivating Respect: Safe Schools For All'' is PFLAG National's umbrella program to support the efforts of educators, parents, and other trusted adults to make schools safe and inclusive.

''Claim Your Rights'', created in partnership with [[GLSEN]], is a program to help parents, teachers, administrators and other trusted adults file complaints with the [[Office for Civil Rights]] at the [[United States Department of Education|US Department of Education]] on behalf of youth who have experienced school-based bullying, harassment, or discrimination.

''PFLAG Connects'' was created in April 2020 in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Hundreds of PFLAG's local chapters moved their in-person support meetings to virtual meetings. PFLAG National also launched ''PFLAG Connects: Communities'' which are national support group meetings for a variety of [[BIPOC]] communities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pflag.org/connect|title = PFLAG Connects|date = 9 April 2020}}</ref>
