Overview

Trans United Fund is committed to building the political power of trans and gender expansive communities and our allies to advocate for trans equality. Trans United Fund accomplishes this mission through engaging trans and gender expansive people and our allies in the political process, building the political leadership and capacity of trans people and allies, and endorsing candidates with a commitment to our communities and a pro-trans platform. Candidates seeking the support of Trans United Fund must go above and beyond support for basic issues of LGBTQ equality, such as supporting inclusive non-discrimination measures. Candidates must demonstrate a strong and proactive commitment to tackling issues like HIV/AIDS, immigration, violence, unemployment, and healthcare disparities, which disproportionately impact trans and gender expansive communities. Trans United Fund is a bi-partisan 501(c)(4) organization. Trans United Fund is organized around the conviction that endorsements and community support must be earned. Trans United Fund has four programs for the 2016 Cycle: > Presidential Endorsement Program > Legislative Scorecard Program > Building Trans/GE Political Power > Educating Allies Program
