Join the movement for trans rights.

FUTR is dedicated to securing the rights of trans Americans by guiding support to both philanthropic efforts and political candidates who are doing the hard work of building a more equitable and inclusive future.

With expert help we identify the candidates and charities for the greatest impact, so you easily can give where it matters most.

We partner with experts to identify highly qualified gender-expansive candidates at all levels of government to ensure that the voices of the trans community are represented and catalyzed into action.

Why We’re Here

Fighting for those we love.

We are parents, friends, and families of trans people; volunteering our time and resources to fight for equality and dignity for trans people around the country.

Now, more than ever.

FUTR's work is more important than ever. We need to support the trans people we love—and fight back against the anti-trans agenda spreading across America. This means making sure trans leaders have a seat at the table and the resources they need to do their work.

Representation matters.

We’ve partnered with organizations like the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, members of the trans community, and experts around the world in the areas of community activism and fundraising to identify the most impactful ways to advance our mission, always with the goal of promoting trans leadership.
