🌈 It’s time to join our community of sustaining donors! 🌈

Choosing Our Roots provides housing support, case management, and affirming community for LGBTQIA2S+ young people across Alaska — but we can’t do it without your ongoing support.

Becoming a sustaining donor means giving monthly or quarterly, helping us build long-term stability and plan ahead with confidence. Your donation directly supports youth facing housing insecurity — from covering Host Family stipends to funding life skills development.

💌 As a thank you, we send out a personalized note each year, often with a sticker or small swag item! But the real gift? Knowing you’re part of a growing network committed to safety, dignity, and belonging for q***r youth.

✨ Give what you can. Give what you feel. Just give regularly.

Can’t give right now? Sharing our mission is just as powerful. Spread the word and help us reach those who can.
