TQNC

Reflecting on a truly special Pride celebration last week hosted by The Equality Fund. TQNC was honored to attend and celebrate alongside so many dedicated individuals and organizations at The Pryde Community Center in Hyde Park.

We loved being there as The Equality Fund announced their new grantees, highlighted the incredible transformative work of their nonprofit partners, and acknowledged the crucial commitment of their donors. Their mission to advance the equitable treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families in Greater Boston is so vital, and we're proud to be a part of it.

The spirit of community was beautifully captured by Gretchen Van Ness from The Pryde, who shared, "We don’t know what the future holds but we do know one thing: whatever happens next, we’re in this together.”

A special thank you to Scott Knox from The Equality Fund for his incredible work in orchestrating such an impactful event and fostering these essential partnerships. It was also wonderful to connect with new and past nonprofit grantees, donors, collaborators, and hear from The Boston Foundation's President and CEO, Lee Pelton. And a big shout-out to Living Water for an amazing performance that brought so much joy!

🚨UPDATED VENUE ALERT!🚨 you all are INCREDIBLE! The RSVPs are rolling in and it looks like we outgrew our planned venue so we’re migrating our meeting spot to The Alley!

Grab your glue sticks and get ready to spread some love!

TQNC is teaming up with Everyday Boston for a night of Valentine’s crafting and card-making—all in the name of kindness. We’re helping them hit their goal of 5,000 handmade cards to brighten up the city, and we need your creative genius.

Make a card for your bestie, your crush, your grandma, or a total stranger (because who doesn’t love a surprise Valentine?). Last year, over 1,000 cards made their way into the world!

We’ve got all the supplies, and it’s totally free to join. If you can, a $10 donation helps cover supplies.

Come make something unapologetically q***r, weird, sweet, or wildly romantic!
