Chapter Launch & Operations
TransParent establishes local chapters that provide a safe haven where parents of transgender and gender-expansive children receive support, resources, and encouragement so that they can act in their child’s best interest. By allowing parents to process the journey of raising a trans/gender-expansive child with other families on similar paths, parents receive the tools they need to accept, support, and advocate for their child, thereby reducing the number of trans/gender-expansive youth that resort to homelessness and suicide. The flagship St. Louis chapter also hosts the Gender Independent Kids Club, connecting trans/gender-expansive youth while their parents attend support group meetings. TransParent also hosts national virtual meetings via Zoom for those parents who do not have in-person support meetings in their area.
Programming Events
Program events like Pride and Gender Independence Day allow transgender and gender-expansive youth to connect with each other and feel less isolated, as well as allow them to feel hopeful in their own future. Program events allow families to celebrate their unique experiences and raise community awareness about the naturally-occurring variations in gender identity.
Outreach
Outreach events such as the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference educate parents on how to support their children. These events build connections with parents wondering how to support their transgender or gender-expansive child and give them the peace of mind of knowing that there are thousands of other families on similar journeys. These events also introduce many parents to our organization and show how they can spread the aforementioned support by starting their own local group. These events, then, expose families to a broad network of individuals and entities who are fighting for trans and GNC communities.
Education
The educational resources provided by TransParent includes nationwide and local resources collected from medical professionals, trans activists, and other organizations. They cover nearly all topics of trans/gender-expansive issues. There is also a place for families to share their experiences with doctors, schools, legal organizations, and more.

Revenue vs. expenses: breakdown
Financial data
TransParent
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
