Your Gift to Support Queer Arts Starts Here

Sustain the legacy of San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus by joining the Conductor’s Society today. Your gift helps to create extraordinary music and experiences that build community, inspire activism, and foster compassion at home and around the world.

Your gift also supports the inaugural season of The Pansy L. Chan and Terrence D. Chan National Queer Arts Center - a landmark, first-of its-kind center for LGBTQ+ arts where the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus and other local and national LGBTQIA+ arts organizations can flourish.

As a member of the Chorus on and off again for almost 24 years I have a pretty big soft spot in my heart for its amazing work, both musically and from a community perspective. I’ve always said the Chorus literally changes peoples’ lives whether they are singing or listening. It’s great to see the Chan Center coming on line to extend that work to the broader Queer Arts community.

Every contribution to the Conductor’s Society amplifies the impact of our RHYTHM program, a beacon of hope and empowerment for young minds. This initiative is deeply rooted in celebrating pride, nurturing individualism, combating bullying, and fostering a spirit of advocacy. It plays a crucial role in guiding high school and middle school students to embrace and confidently express their authentic selves, transcending barriers of sexual orientation and gender identity.

“After the performance my small 6th grade class met, and one girl felt empowered to come out to me and the class. It is because of the chorus and the beauty of what they brought today that she felt empowered to do that and others knew how to support and applaud her strength. You never know the kind of power you wield.”
— Middle School Teacher

RHYTHM champions the vital role of allyship, extending its support and solidarity not only to gay youth but also to those who are gender-diverse and transgender. In doing so, it strengthens the fabric of our community by bolstering choral programs and supporting Gay-Straight Alliance groups in these educational institutions. Your donation is a powerful affirmation of these values, helping to sow seeds of understanding and acceptance in the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Help us make it all possible. You can choose to make an annual gift, a quarterly, or a monthly recurring donation.

Gifts above $150 receive presale access to all our mainstage and Pansy L. Chan and Terrence D. Chan National Queer Arts Center events and your name included in all our mainstage programs.
