About the Tegan and Sara Foundation
The Tegan and Sara Foundation’s mission is to invest in the potential of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Our vision: A world where 2SLGBTQ+ communities thrive.
We do this by identifying the most historically excluded within the broader 2SLGBTQ+ community and providing funding quickly, without overly restrictive requirements and barriers. We trust grassroots, community-based organizations to identify solutions for those they serve, and provide them the resources to bring these to life - where other major funding institutions may pass them over.

About Tegan and Sara
Throughout their 20+ year career, spanning ten studio albums and more than a million records sold, Tegan and Sara have used music as a medium for storytelling. With that storytelling at its core, they have built a multi-faceted media empire that extends into TV, books, newsletters, and public service, always deeply rooted in music. They added executive producer credits to their resume after the release of the coming-of-age TV series High School, which was based on their critically acclaimed, New York Times best-selling memoir, and their Hulu documentary Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara.
With multiple JUNO Award wins, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees (Hon. LLD) from the University of Calgary, the 2018 New York Civil Liberties Union Award, and numerous GRAMMY, GLAAD, and Polaris Prize Award nominations, Tegan and Sara have much to be proud of, but their crowning achievement thus far is the Tegan and Sara Foundation. Tegan and Sara will received the Humanitarian Award in recognition of their work with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, presented at the 2024 JUNO Awards.
Founding Letter from Tegan and Sara
"Since the beginning of our career, our LGBTQ fans have supported us in innumerable ways. Our journey navigating sexism and homophobia in the music industry has always been interwoven with the stories you share with us. Your personal histories of injustice and discrimination at home, school, work, and church have inspired us to use our public status to speak out about the struggles of the LGBTQ community."
The Tegan and Sara Foundation is a 501c3 organization.
