TIGERRS

We're more than halfway there! 🎉

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we've raised 55% of our $5,000 Give OUT Day goal.

Every dollar helps build and sustain programs that bring trans and intersex people together through youth programming, intergenerational gatherings, and peer support spaces. These programs create opportunities to connect, share resources, learn from one another, and grow stronger as a community.
