Spreading Holiday Queer Dec 13th, 2020

Join our last gathering of 2020 and our first open mic this Sunday December 13th from 2-4pm CST.

Get cozy with your favorite warm beverage and a blanket, invite your friends, keep some tissue nearby, and think of a story you want to share with community.

We became a nonprofit - new donor page

We became a nonprofit - new donor page

Mid January we got approved by the IRS as a nonprofit.

This means we are a financially and legally independent organization and have to create systems within that structure. We will be switching our GiveMN page. Our previous page connected to our awesome fiscal sponsor has been disabled. Please make your donations on our new page now

Thank you for being a small and mighty group of donors, carrying this organization over the years. We are excited to build structures, grow our board and supporters, and officially hire staff in this new phase. Our goal is to raise at least $2,000/month in sustaining donations by Dec 2020.

Your support means we can continue to compensate all of our storytellers, audio recorders, child care providers, provide food and compensate our Executive Director for the many hours they put into TQH.
