PALS PLANNING AHEAD FOR LGBTQ SENIORS INC

Planning Ahead for LGTBTQ+ Seniors can only continue doing all that it does each year (and more), because of the generous support of PALS just like you! That's why we're continuing this GoFundMe Campaign, so we can raise another $3,000 or more to cover PALS "behind the scenes" operating expenses for 2025-26. These expenses include special events, website hosting, ZOOM, MailChimp and Add Event platforms, hiring ASL interpreters when requested, and PALS hybrid technology equipment, print materials and nominal office supplies.

So please be a PAL and contribute* whatever you can, knowing that each and every dollar donated will help PALS achieve its mission and vision to:

 *Note: contributions are fully tax deductible because PALS is fully registered as a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit public benefit corporation with the IRS and state of California. Our EIN # is 33-2054800.

For a closer look at what PALS is all about, please read on:

Planning Ahead for LGBTQ+ Seniors [PALS] is an all volunteer-led community based educational organization based in greater Palm Springs, CA, that was started in 2013 by Richard Bass and others to provide LGBTQ+ adults and allies with more personalized information and resources for effectively planning ahead before a health or other life-altering situation occurs.

By providing a wide array of no-cost seminars, workshops, special events and social activities every year, PALS has become so much more than presenting useful information about financial, health, legal and end-of-life planning — PALS is where friendships blossom and difficult conversations about aging, care and loss happen without stigma and judgment.

PALS is also where we gather the community together to address the most difficult aspects of aging for LGBTQ+ seniors (and soon-to-be seniors) — many of whom are estranged from family, have no children, have lost a spouse, or are single and living alone.

Yet what PALS does costs money. So please be a PAL and contribute* generously, knowing that all funds raised will be spent on creating a community that looks out for each other.
