The Chosen Family Project is a Palm Springs, CA based nonprofit dedicated to celebrating, protecting, and giving voice to the diverse, loving, and joyful people we in the LGBTQ+ community call “family." The Chosen Family Project™ seeks to redefine the notion of the traditional nuclear family by recognizing that our families are not defined by gender, ethnicity, sexuality, parental status, nor the partners we love, but by the people we’ve chosen to walk with through life’s journey.
The key initiative of TCFP is to collect stories of Queer folks and their chosen families from across the nation to be published in a book. Stories can be submitted/published anonymously. Proceeds from the book with go toward LGBTQIA+ serving organizations like The Spectrum Center.
