Mission Statement
The San Antonio Gender Association aspires to improve and uplift the lives of transgender and gender diverse individuals in the greater San Antonio area by providing community, support, resources, outreach, and social & volunteer programs.
About This Cause
The San Antonio Gender Association (SAGA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Texas, committed to supporting, advocating for, and uplifting transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals. Founded with a mission to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment, SAGA offers a variety of programs and services aimed at addressing the unique needs of the gender-diverse community in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. One of SAGA's core offerings is its Member Support Meetings, held twice a month, which provide a hybrid format for both in-person and virtual participation. These meetings serve as safe spaces where members can share experiences, seek guidance, and build connections within the community. Additionally, the organization hosts social events and special gatherings to encourage social interaction and create a sense of belonging. SAGA is also actively engaged in public health initiatives, including its Public Health and Safety Training (PHST) program, led by certified professionals. This program offers critical skills such as CPR, AED, First Aid, STOP THE BLEED, and Narcan training, promoting harm reduction and equipping community members to respond to health emergencies. Future expansions aim to include education on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) safety, with a focus on proper injection techniques. The organization operates key assistance programs, such as the Via Fare Assistance Program, which helps individuals access public transportation, and a Gender Affirming Clothing Closet that provides clothing and accessories to those in need. SAGA's Membership Card Program offers affordable, anonymous membership options, ensuring accessibility without compromising privacy. SAGA is entirely volunteer-run, with no paid staff, and relies on the dedication of its board members, officers, and community volunteers. The organization is committed to transparency and integrity in all financial dealings, governed by clear transaction guidelines. SAGA is dedicated to building a more inclusive and equitable society by advocating for the rights and well-being of transgender and gender-diverse people in San Antonio and beyond.
