WILTON MANORS – (April 30, 2024) – As part of its concerted transgender support initiative, The Our Fund Foundation announced five non-profit organizations received a total of $80,000 in grants to support the transgender community in South Florida.
Arianna’s Center, McKenzie Project, Inc., SunServe, Transinclusive Group, and TransSocial all received much-needed funding which may be used at the discretion of the organizations’ executive staff for general operating expenses and capacity building.
“With political and social forces continuing to target the transgender community, we knew we had to set up and meet this pivotal moment with the backing of our supporters who understand the need for a philanthropic response at this critical time,” said David Jobin, president and CEO of The Our Fund Foundation.
These nonprofits were selected for their commitment to advancing the rights and awareness of the transgender community through targeted programs and initiatives that enhance the lives of transgender individuals and promote inclusivity.
“As an advocacy-driven organization with a concentrated focus on serving Transgender people of color, the enthusiastic support of our mission from The Our Fund Foundation and their Transgender Fund has been invaluable,” said Nic Zantop, Deputy Director of Transinclusive. “We are dedicated to holistically meeting complex needs and meeting people where they are, and having a funder that not only understands our organizational priorities but is also personally engaged with and representative of South Florida’s LGBTQIA+ community makes a tangible difference.”
