SUPPORT CGSA

Help keep a welcoming place open

Since 1962, volunteers have kept our socials, program nights, online gatherings, and Gender Voices going. Your gift helps keep them open to everyone, whatever their budget.

CGSA is an Illinois not-for-profit run entirely by volunteers. We are working toward federal 501(c)(3) status; until then, gifts are not tax-deductible.
