Overview

Mission

The trans women of color solidarity network is a grassroots collective based in seattle dedicated to uplifting the leadership and well-being of black, indigenous, trans women/trans femmes of color. Through mutual aid, housing justice, and community organizing, twocsn works to dismantle systems of oppression and build liberatory models of care rooted in solidarity and self-determination.

What it reported doing in 2024

The house of constance is the only program we are currently operating. It is under renovation right now, so no residents are living in it. Accomplishments for 2024 were dealing with the flood, taking the interior of the house down to the studs, developing architectural plans for the renovation, and identifying new funding sources that will help us complete the renovation. Currently, around 30 volunteers were involved in this project, and the house will provide low cost housing to 8-10 community members once it is finished being renovated.

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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
