Why TFSS?

At TransFamily Support Services, we are committed to creating a safer, more inclusive future for trans youth and their families. As the threat of anti-trans efforts grows across the country, we stand firm in our mission to provide vital support, resources, and advocacy to those who need it most.

Operating on a national level, we work tirelessly to combat discrimination, protect rights, and foster understanding within communities. By empowering families and individuals, we ensure that trans youth not only survive but thrive in a world that too often tries to silence them.

Together, we can push back against hate and build a society where every trans person is celebrated for who they are.

Why Giving Now Matters More Than Ever

Trans youth are facing unprecedented challenges, including increased legislative attacks, barriers to healthcare, and rising rates of homelessness and mental health struggles. Consider these alarming statistics:

  • Over 50% of transgender and nonbinary youth have seriously considered suicide in the past year
  • More than 20 states have passed or proposed laws restricting gender-affirming care for minors
  • 1 in 3 trans youth report experiencing homelessness or housing instability at some point in their lives

Your donation today can provide critical support and advocacy for trans youth who need it most.

Donor Tiers & Impact

Your monthly gift fuels life-saving programs for trans youth and their families. Every dollar helps us create safe spaces, deliver vital resources, and provide affirming care at the moments it matters most.

Why Monthly Giving Matters

One-time gifts address immediate needs such as mental health referrals and gender-affirming items. But monthly donations help sustain long-term programs and advocacy efforts—like our education training on gender competency and ongoing support services for trans youth and their families.

Real Impact, Real Stories: What Your Donation Does

Behind every donation is a real story of hope, growth, and community. These are just a few voices from youth and families whose lives have been touched by your support.

“I wanted to thank you for your support in helping me navigate the very opaque systems of insurance and workplace benefits. I was feeling pretty lost and helpless when I initially emailed you, and I’m so glad my therapist recommended your organization to me”
