Overview

Mission

Texans for all will work to advance and defeat state religious refusal legislation that targets lgbt texans by providing public education on such issues; public education on lgbt rights in cities and towns where non-discrimination ordinances are being debated; and to actively support nondiscrimination ordinances in cities and towns across Texas.

What it reported doing in 2015

This program provided public education about bills proposed by the Texas legislature that would allow people to use religion as a weapon to harm and discriminate against others and ignore laws meant to protect everyone. We successfully defeated 21 of 22 pieces of legislation.

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 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
