Overview

Mission

Defend, Protect & Ensure equal human rights for trans and LGBTQIA people in the State of Texas and promote the wellbeing of our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Supported OLTT members and community members in regards to their needs, such as shelter, medical and mental health care from COVID, HIV/AIDS, and supported victims of sexual assault and members who are in vulnerable workplaces.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
