The Garage - Immediate Need For Support

You may have heard - in the latest state budget, Governor Ferguson vetoed $25 million meant for small nonprofits and community studies. The Garage lost $300,000 - funding we were counting on over the next two years.  For small nonprofits like ours, the impact is immediate - and painful. But it’s the teens who feel it most. LGBTQIA2S+ youth, BIPOC teens, and newly immigrated young people are already navigating a world filled with fear and instability. Did you know that all events & activities, services, food, and drinks at The Garage are free of charge?  And in addition to teen-led events and activities, we also have free Licensed Mental Health Therapy and Case Management Services?  If you've ever believed in creating space for young people to be safe, to be seen, and to belong, this is a call to action.  Every dollar helps us stay open, strong, and equitable—for every teen who needs us.

The Circle: Immediate Need For Support

We are sharing a message rooted in both unity and urgency - due to a recent and significant loss in state funding, we now face an urgent need; we must raise $100,000 to continue providing essential services At The Circle, we believe that when one of us faces hardship, we all do. Many of our neighbors are living in fear—fear of sending their children to school, going to work, walking outside, fulfilling civic duties, or simply speaking their native language in public. These challenges weigh heavily on all of us who care deeply about justice, safety, and belonging. The Circle welcomed over 700 community members seeking support in the first three months of 2025. For many, we are a trusted place to ask questions, pursue education, and begin to rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence. I am sharing our 2024 Impact Report and 2025 Update: And if you can, please donate.

PorchLight: Fund The Freeze - Fuel the Future

The work we do at PorchLight has never been easy, but the current government funding freeze has impacted the financial support we receive from our City and County partners — funding that we rely on to provide vital support to men experiencing homelessness. This disruption means we are now facing a financial shortfall at mid-year. But here’s the truth: We refuse to let this setback stop us from serving those who depend on us. We believe that community warmth can overcome even the harshest cold. That’s why we’re launching a Spring fundraising campaign.  Fund the Freeze - Fuel the Future
