Overview

Mission

To empower and support trans youth and their loved ones

What it reported doing in 2025

Continued in-person as well as virtual programming and services. Virtual programming allows Stand With Trans to reach its target audience all over the U.S. and not just in Michigan. The organization also has youth from outside the U.S. participating in programs. It also continued its mental health therapy services which started in October 2024, of which two licensed clinicians provide services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
