The mission of The Imperial Court of Washington, DC (ICWDC) is to raise funds for organizations, including but not limited to those supporting just the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community: HIV/AIDS services organizations, social service organizations and youth enrichment programs. We seek to provide a safe, social environment for people with the same interest as those of the membership and to create and promote positive community awareness of the ideals of the International Court System. Our members are dedicated to the causes and charities chosen by our organization. Our two-fold mission encompasses both social and philanthropic arenas. Moreover, as serious as we are about and our role in our community, we cannot deny that many of us also participate for the frivolity and creative outlet the Court encourages.
