Joy is Resistance

When the world tries to silence queer and trans people, the Sisters amplify their voices.

A gift to our Year-long Campaign is not charity.

It’s your full-throated, glitter-covered “hell yes” participation in joyful resistance.

We are an all-volunteer order of queer and trans nuns devoted to promulgating universal joy and expiating stigmatic guilt.

Your gift today participates in saving queer and trans lives by helping us show up with comfort, camp, and unapologetic visibility when it matters most.

Your generosity supports:

Over $50,000 annually in micro-grants to small, underfunded LGBTQ+ organizations and leaders across the country, including trans-led groups, youth programs, and rural organizers
Easter in the Park, the world’s greatest queer birthday party, featuring the legendary Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary contests and welcoming thousands into sacred nonsense
Community ministry and presence, showing up at hundreds of events for other organizations and communities in streets, community spaces, celebrations, protests, vigils, and moments of care
Support for Sister Houses nationwide, through a grants program that helps smaller Houses joyfully resist in their own communities
Creative fundraising events like Project Nunway that generate additional support for our community grants program

Whether you give once or monthly, you’re not just supporting the Sisters, you’re part of the resistance.

Drop anything from pocket change to big bills in our digital bucket, help us cross our $10,000 goal, and turn guilt into action and joy into a gloriously queer act of defiance.

About The Sisters

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, federal tax ID number: 94-3032120.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® are a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty.

Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency, and guilt that chain the human spirit.

Where Your Money Goes

Donations will go into the Sisters' General Fund, which helps cover organizational operating expenses, human rights activism, event production, and our Community Grants program! Your donation will support the Sisters’ ministry and promulgation of universal joy for the queer and trans communities and our allies!
