I believe that Affirmation is one of the most deserving of donations in this giving season. Let me explain to you why. Affirmation provides help navigating faith transitions for people of all types, lesbian, bi, gay trans, queer, straight, and any number of other identities. Affirmation first focuses on love. No matter where you are spiritually you can find a home in Affirmation.

Affirmation knows how to work with people. Inside of Affirmation you will find all kinds of people; that’s what makes us strong. From faithful same-sex attracted members of the church to the most radical thinkers I’ve ever met, all people work together to make a beautiful community that is capable of much more than we are apart.

Lastly, Affirmation deserves your donation because it helped me, and helps hundreds of others individually. Affirmation is not interested in numbers, they aren’t interested in statistics, they’re interested in people. Affirmation and the people within have loved and supported me when I wasn’t able to do so myself. I owe so much to Affirmation, not the least of which is my life. If you are considering giving a charitable donation during this season, please give to Affirmation. They have given me plenty and continue to do so for hundreds of folks, LGBTQ+ or not.
