Overview
Mission
Advancing rights for transgender & nonbinary people in Louisiana
What it reported doing in 2024
Louisiana Trans Name Change Fund - We provide funding for transgender people to change their name in LA. Name change costs vary by parish. We also provide navigation support for the legal process when able. We provided around 25 name changes in 2024 and paid contractors to support the program.
Operating model
