Y'all

Y'all is a nonprofit organization based in Indiana, United States, focusing on supporting the queer and transgender community. The organization aims to provide access to community and financial support for services that are not typically covered, such as name changes, wigs, clothes, hair removal, and other necessities for living an authentic life[1][5].

Founding and Purpose

Y'all was founded by Daniel and Bryggs, driven by a personal experience related to transitioning and the realization of the broader need for support in the community. Initially, they organized an event called "Fill All My Bowls" to help cover costs associated with Bryggs' transition, which eventually led to the establishment of the nonprofit as they received overwhelming support[1].

The organization is deeply committed to creating inclusive and supportive environments for queer and trans individuals, addressing the gaps in support and resources within Indiana. Y'all operates with the understanding that small moments can have a significant impact on individuals' well-being and the broader community[1].

Activities and Impact

Y'all's activities include hosting events that unite communities and provide support to individuals in need. While they may not focus on large-scale fundraising, their events help raise awareness about the existence of organizations that support trans and queer individuals, fostering a sense of community and belonging[1].

In a context where legislation affecting LGBTQ+ rights is prominent, Y'all's mission emphasizes the importance of continued support and advocacy for the community. The organization remains responsive to community needs, adapting its strategies based on feedback and evolving community demands[1].

Legal Status and Operations

Y'all is recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, reflecting its status as a nonprofit entity in the United States. This status allows donors to claim tax deductions for their contributions, supporting the organization's financial stability and growth[1].
