Use the Space
Become a Partner
In support of our Purpose and Vision, Finn’s Place is available for use by and for the trans and gender-diverse community, free of charge.
• We invite non-profit organizations, less-formal groups, and individual service providers to partner with Finn’s Place for ongoing use of the space. Potential partners apply for partnership, and approved partners share the space through a reservation system.
• We invite trans and gender-diverse individuals to reserve the space to host personal gatherings by reaching out to Finn’s Place via email.
• No event, gathering, or meeting may charge any member of the trans or gender-diverse community for attendance, participation, or services rendered.
• Trans and gender-diverse service providers deserve to be paid for their work, and Finn’s Place will work to establish a fund for their compensation in this space.
• Volunteers help facilitate the use of the space, including serving as a site host for partners’ events at Finn’s Place.
• Potential uses of the space include support groups, organizing meetings, educational resources and events, social gatherings, book clubs, wellness classes, one-on-one conversations, meet-ups, parties, and more.
• There is no religious requirement or restriction for use of the space. All are welcome.
• The Finn’s Place Board seeks out partners and occasionally provides programming to further the vision of Finn’s Place.
