About This Cause
The Queer Center a 501 c 3 tax exempt non-profit organization since September of 2021. We are excited to launch the first Queer (LGBTQIA+) Center with a mission to provide resources to our Arizona queer community. As a Queer organization, we continue to find and expand programs that will help and support our community. Some programs we’ve launched ourselves; other programs we’ve taken under our wing such as Trans Spectrum of Arizona (TSAZ). TSAZ hosts peer support meetings for Trans Feminine, Trans Masculine, Gender Expansive, and SOFFA (Significant Others, Family, Friends, and Allies). TSAZ also has created and maintains a Trans Resource Guide with information on health clinics, medical doctors, therapists, and other essential resources who all have proven valuable to the queer community. The YouPhoria Project“ this project is designed to help individuals find the correct binder (compression garment)and to feel confident in finding the right size, style, and color of binder before purchasing their own. Through the generosity of donors and charity events, we have been able to provide over 100 free binders to our local community. Also this project also has gaffs (tucking panties) for our MTF community, and packing underwear for our FTM community. We also have Project Hard Hat, which provides condoms for 22 plus bars and bathhouses in the community. The Queer Center has been approached by several organizations in the Community expressing an interest in becoming a part of our mission. We have partnered with the following organizations: Valleywise Medical (healthcare for our Trans Community), Your Wellness and Health Medical (medical services to our Queer Community), Ripple Phoenix (education/testing on HIV and Prep resources), Lambda Phoenix Center (serving LGBTQ+ people in recovery), Abbey of the Wayward Spirit (provides everyday necessities to people experiencing homelessness), and Team Friendly Arizona (fighting stigma of HIV). We will continue our resource search, vetting all clinics/organizations who want to serve our Queer Community.
