YOU can support the success of this endeavor by helping us reach people globally, and share their voices in an even deeper way. Highlighting the stories of the queer and trans community is the single most vital piece to creating connection and change in a society. We've also created a support fund to help provide much needed services and support to our participants, when there is a situation that threatens to adversely affect their health or well-being. Whether you give one time or - even better! - monthly, you are a big part of our mission to tell stories and foster compassion and equality.

Your kind donations will go directly to these crucial expenses:
SUPPORT FUND: A big part of our overall mission involves improving the lives of queer and trans people and help to elevate them and their stories. Sadly, far too often these people experience food insecurity, barriers to employment and healthcare, discrimination, homelessness, violence and isolation. Your donations will be integrated into a fund to be distributed - at the project's careful discretion - to specific project participants who need it most, when it counts.
TRAVEL AND INTEGRATION: Jack and Deb need to travel to different cities around Canada, the UK and the US to reach people and tell their stories. The only way to make this happen is to raise the funds so we can reach them. Your donation will be an integral part of making this happen and bringing new and previously silenced voices and faces to the forefront, by covering costs associated with this. Want to underwrite our journey to a specific place or community? Talk to us.
VIDEO COVERAGE AND EDITING: One big step into providing greater depth and understanding is telling these stories in a more intimate way is to use video documentation. Your donations will go toward employing cinematographers and editors within the queer community - especially ones who have been marginalized and/or underemployed - whose skills can help inform our sessions with personal insights that might otherwise be missed.
EXHIBITION AND VISIBILITY: Getting Don't You Want Me in front of as many eyes as possible involves exhibiting and promoting it. Your generosity will enable us to display the project in different types of physical locations around the world. This would involve printing and framing visual materials, renting venues, and promoting our work. We also want to be able to provide an honorarium for each queer or trans volunteer giving their time and skills to assist with events and exhibits.
