Honoured to donate to the TSF. So incredibly proud of you and all you do for our community. So many artists shout and scream support during Pride Month but you shout and scream 24/7 365 days a year. You don’t just talk, you act, support etc. Love and support always β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ€ŽπŸ–€πŸ€

All. Of. This. πŸ‘πŸ½ πŸ‘πŸ½ πŸ‘πŸ½ . My wife and I have donated and will continue to donate. I have the foundation posters up in my classroom, and have shared buttons and cards with GSA students from the foundation. Thank you for using your voices and energies to help the community. It truly takes a village and having leaders and volunteers like those shared in this post, is what truly structures a safe, strong, and impactful foundation! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Thank you for the support! Most students know it is a safe space because of the visibility. I’m just grateful for a community like this to help me support my students. It’s been rough out there, especially for Trans teens in sports, recently.

I have donated to the foundation since the beginning, however I’m not a monthly donor. Tegan, when you wrote that it is easier to plan how to support different organizations when you know the amount of money being raised, I decided to become a monthly donor. I know that when I give money to the Tegan and Sara Foundation that I am helping my community.

Thank you for all that you do for the community πŸ’›. I love everything that the tegan and Sara foundation does. I've been wearing my TSF pins that I got at the concert a lot too.

The foundation's work is so important and it helps the queer community so much, I was wondering if it will ever expand outside of North America? I know that you can only do so much, but this type of work would do wonders in countries where the community is even more so oppressed. I'm a monthly donor and I donated during tour as well, got my button on my hat :) so grateful and proud ❀️

The foundation is so incredible and the work it does is so important, reading what the board members had to say about that really just emphasises it further. οΏΌSo glad I finally got a TSF shirt, makes me feel not as bad for not being able to donateοΏΌ monthly at the minuteοΏΌοΏΌ.

Yourselves and the foundation do so much good for the LGBTQ+ communityοΏΌ and it’s just wonderful to see. 5 years of hard work and it’s helped so many! πŸ’›

So grateful for the existence of TSF, and Kika too πŸ–€

I'm thrilled to be both a donor and a community grant recipient; it is just so invaluable to have queer-run funding opportunities available to the community.

My organization's TSF funded projects have been the highlights of, and a massive stepping stone for, my career. Our queer birthing work has continued to make waves across the globe - I recently chatted with a gynecologist in Iran who is putting the posters and resources in her clinic!! Who would have thought our little idea would go so far?!

I loved this!! And love what they all work so hard to do! I won the Prizeo contest in 2019 and got to meet you both in Utah, which of course I think about often, but I also remember how nice Carolyn and Kika were and how helpful Kika was about…everything (I am a girl who always has a lot of questions LOL ) and I have thought about both of them since then! So I was so excited and happy to see them mentioned here. The foundation does so many great things and I can imagine how hard you all work 🫢🏻 I’ll always donate when I get the chance! πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ«ΆπŸ»

I love TSF! I'm a monthly donor, and I love knowing it goes to help local grassroots orgs. Even two here in Chicago (Affinity Community Services and Brave Space Alliance) got community grants. I can't mention enough - thanks for all you do, and thanks to all the board members, staff, and everyone else involved in TSF. I'm honored to be able to be a part of such a great force in our community.

Definitely donating this year. I also got my Spotify end of year results and of the 27,905 minutes of music I listened to this year, 2,427 minutes were Tegan & Sara! Fucking up what matters was my number one most played track of the year! Thank you for helping me get through the work day one song at a time.
