COMMUNITY BUILDING IS A TEAM EFFORT

As Seattle's first choir by and for trans and nonbinary singers, we are engaging in the radical act of centering trans joy. We are building a community of mutual support that centers accessibility and inclusion, but we can only do that with your support.

​

Paying trans artists, renting accessible facilities, and growing to meet the needs of Seattle's extraordinary trans community takes sustainable funding. Your contributions help us demonstrate to grantors that our work is valuable to our community.

"Funny how the lifesavers often come so unexpectedly. This incredible community has taught me that being me doesn’t always have to be “not enough” or “too much”; sometimes being my creative, awkward, emotional and bubbly self can be “just right.” Because of STANCE, for a couple hours a week I don’t have to wonder whether my existence is good enough; every rehearsal I am sure I belong, and it’s a feeling I’ve been craving my whole life. Joining our queer, neurodivergent choir has opened up a safe community space for me to explore emotional vulnerability, gender-based desires, and neurodivergent authenticity. Being a part of STANCE for the last 3 1/2 months has helped me stitch myself back together."
