If you can make a donation to support our work, we'd be extremely grateful!
The Plural Association is a grassroots, volunteer-led nonprofit. Together as volunteers we provide over 100,000 community interactions each year, have reached more than 1,000,000 people through free content and resources, and have welcomed thousands of Plurals to our events. That scale of impact runs almost entirely on community support. Which means it runs on people like you.
Support the only grassroots nonprofit built by and for the Plural community.
Most people who land on this page have been looking for something like this for a long time. A nonprofit that actually gets it. One that is not built on top of the Plural community, but built from within it.
The Plural Association is grassroots by design. We are not part of the nonprofit industrial complex. We do not accept government funding. We are not run by researchers studying Plurals from the outside or clinicians who have decided what is best for us. The Plural label belongs to Plurals, and so does this organization. Every decision, every resource, and every initiative starts and ends with the community it serves.
That independence is what makes us worth supporting. And it is also what makes your donation matter so much.
Here is what Plurals say about us.
"We built on quicksand, we stumbled, and fell. Then we finally found this community, and our whole world changed. We thank Power to the Plurals for its title: Together we are stronger." -- Stefanie Ziegler, a Plural supported by TPA
"Supportive of all plural people, no matter how they identify. Efforts to put community needs first, and awareness of intersectionality." -- Anonymous, a Plural supported by TPA
"It gives us hope that we are not alone, and someone is out there listening. It gives us hope stigmas might finally be addressed and combated. Being plural can be very lonely and scary for some without knowing others experience it too." -- Anonymous, a Plural supported by TPA
86% of Plurals who connect with TPA recommend us to others. 78% say we empowered them.
What your donation actually does
We are entirely dependent on the support of Plurals and their allies. No grants. No government funding. No corporate sponsors. What follows is exactly where your money goes.
Keeping access open for everyone
Over 50% of our event participants depend on scholarship access to attend PPWC, DID Awareness Day, and our other live events. Your donation is what makes it possible for a Plural system with no financial safety net to still have a seat at the table.
Keeping 250+ resources permanently free
Our library of articles, videos, and educational materials has reached over 1,000,000 people. Plurals, allies, and professionals around the world access it every day. Hosting it, maintaining it, and keeping it free costs money every single month. That cost falls entirely on donors.
Building education that does not exist anywhere else
The Plural Competence Course was the first resource of its kind for clinicians, built on real data from the Plural community itself. We are developing more, including courses on functional multiplicity and empowered plurality. Your donation funds what comes next.
Changing how professionals understand Dissociative Identity Disorder and Plurality
We actively work to shift how clinicians are trained to understand and support Plural clients through Continuing Education, practitioner outreach, and community-informed resources. This is slow, necessary, long-term work. It does not happen without funding.
Sustaining the Plural rights movement
TPA is not just a service provider. We are part of a broader effort to change how the world understands Plural people, including those with Dissociative Identity Disorder and OSDD. Challenging stigma, amplifying Plural voices, and building lasting infrastructure requires resources. Your donation helps keep that work going.
Supporting Plural freelancers who contribute to our mission
When we bring in outside support, we make sure it stays in the community. Plural freelancers who share our values contribute to TPA's work and are compensated for it.
The scale of what we have built together
Since founding in February 2020, two weeks before the COVID-19 lockdowns:
- 1,000,000+ people reached through free content and resources
- 250,000 website visitors, a milestone hit in May 2026
- 392,000+ article reads on Power to the Plurals
- 418,000+ video views across our YouTube channels
- 100,000+ interactions generated across our platforms every year
- 7,500+ registrations across 22 live events
- 2,000 scholarships awarded to event and access participants
- 86% of Plurals recommend TPA to others
- 78% of Plurals say TPA empowered them
All of it built by volunteers, funded by donors, and shaped entirely by the community it exists to serve.
Start your own fundraiser
There are many ways to support our work beyond a direct donation. You can run a fundraiser for The Plural Association for your birthday, as part of a live stream, through your workplace, or for any occasion that feels meaningful to you. Every fundraiser, no matter the size, helps us keep Plural support free, independent, and community-led. Click "I want to fundraise for this" at the bottom of this page to get started.
Why we are volunteer-led by design
Everyone on our team works remotely and volunteers their time. We keep overhead as low as possible so more of every donation reaches the mission directly. We do not spend your money on advertisements. We never financially gatekeep access to our free resources, and we never will.
You can also fundraise for us directly. Click "I want to fundraise for this" at the bottom of this page to start your own campaign.
Why we are community funded by design
Most nonprofits chase grants. They apply for government funding, court institutional donors, and structure their work around what funders want to see. That model comes with strings. It means priorities shift toward what looks good in a report, not what the community actually needs. It means Plural people become subjects of funding proposals rather than the center of the work itself.
We made a different choice from the start. The Plural Association is funded entirely by Plurals and their allies, by the community this work belongs to. That means we answer to you, not to a government agency, a foundation board, or a corporate partner. It means no external funder can ever redirect our mission, dilute our values, or tell us what Plurality is allowed to mean.
Community funding is not a limitation. It is how we stay free.
What the 2025 Plural Census tells us about the need
1,053 Plurals responded to our 2025 census. Over 8 in 10 identify as transgender or nonbinary. The majority are autistic, neurodivergent, disabled, or navigating multiple layers of marginalization at once. Nearly 9 in 10 describe their plurality as a neurodivergence. And when asked what healing looks like, 427 Plurals said functional multiplicity. Only 9 chose fusion.
This community is not asking for what mainstream mental health systems typically offer. They are asking for resources, representation, and education that actually reflects who they are. That is what TPA provides. And it is what your donation makes possible.
Your donation keeps this work alive.
There is no safety net here. No institution backing us up. Just Plurals, their allies, and people who believe this community deserves to exist, grow, and be heard.
If that is you, we are grateful. And if you cannot donate right now, sharing our work with someone who might need it is just as meaningful.
