Freedom of expression is on the line—will you stand with us?

Freedom of expression is on the line—will you stand with us?
The cultural climate in this country is shifting—and not in a direction that protects diversity, inclusion, or artistic freedom. With the current administration’s increasingly hostile stance toward DEI initiatives, organizations that uplift marginalized voices are being pushed to the fringes.

Tom of Finland Foundation exists to preserve Queer artistic heritage, defend freedom of expression, and celebrate unapologetic identity. For decades, we have safeguarded work that dared to exist when society tried to erase it.

But today, we face a new reality.

Across the nonprofit sector, funding is tightening. Operational costs are rising. Philanthropic dollars are shrinking. Political pressure is mounting. For institutions rooted in LGBTQ+ culture and expression, the stakes are existential.

Our Foundation needs your support. Not eventually. Not hypothetically. Now.

What we preserve today determines what future generations will be allowed to learn, see, and celebrate tomorrow.

This moment demands action. Silence is not neutral. Inaction has consequences.

When you donate to Tom of Finland Foundation, you are not just contributing—you are taking a stand.


Your gift:

– Protects irreplaceable Queer archives and artwork

 – Empowers artists whose voices still face censorship

– Defends creative freedom in a hostile political climate

– Sends a clear message that diversity, equity, and inclusion are non-negotiable

WHETHER YOUR GIFT IS $25, $100, $500, OR MORE,
IT REPRESENTS RESISTANCE AGAINST CULTURAL ERASURE AND
A COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING QUEER HISTORY WITH PRIDE.

Please donate today and stand with us.
