Community Grants

TSF Community Grants were launched in the spring of 2020 as an emergency response fund to meet immediate needs created by coronavirus within 2SLGBTQ+ populations. The grants address the unique challenges for 2SLGBTQ+ people who have faced economic and healthcare inequality since before COVID-19.

To immediately support and center Black lives, Tegan and Sara Foundation has released another round of Community Grants to Black-led, 2SLGBTQ+ organizations addressing systemic racism by organizing to end police violence and providing legal counsel, policy development, and mental health services. We are committed to using our resources to directly center those protesting and organizing for real change now.

2sLGBTQ+ Summer Camps

We provide scholarships and funding support to U.S. and Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ summer camps that focus on bringing together 2SLGBTQ+ youth to build confidence, leadership & community.

Our goal is to increase the number of queer youth in attendance that come from historically excluded communities, particularly girls of color, Indigenous, low-income and rural-based youth.

Queer Health Access

We bring together a variety of experts across medical, technical, and policy disciplines to create healthcare solutions for the queer community. The 2018 Queer Health Hackathon was held at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, MA.

Additionally, we partner with GLMA to build a database of culturally competent healthcare providers for the LGBTQ+ community, who often face barriers finding care from experts trained in their unique needs - the LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory.
