We use the Trans Justice Funding Project definition of
TGNC-led organizations, which defines TGNC led as:
“the majority of the people in charge of your group identify as transgender or gender non-conforming (TGNC)."
"In Charge" Means
If you have a ...
-
director, your director should identify TGNC
-
board, a collective, or an advisory committee, the majority of staff, collective or committee members should identify TGNC.
-
staff, the majority of staff members should identify as TGNC.
-
group that is volunteer-run, the majority of your volunteer leaders should identify as TGNC.
If your group has a TGNC-related program that includes trans or gender non-conforming leadership, but the majority of your organization’s leadership (director, staff, board, etc) do not identify as trans or gender non-conforming, your group is not TGNC-led.
