The need of the community we serve is rapidly growing with new familiesreaching out to us daily. To keep up with the demand and needs of our families andallies, we are expanding our programs statewide. Our virtual programming is availablefor parents and family members that are beyond the state of Virginia. We fundraise year round with a focus on 3 giving campaigns: Big Ask, Big Give focusingon end of calendar year gifts beginning in November for Trans Day of Remembrance. In thespring, it is Trans Day of Visibility and also our anniversary so we host an annualfundraiser, a dance party. Every June, we participate in a national giving campaigncalled GiveOUTDay. For the last 3 years that we have participated, we won 1st place forSouthern Organization, and we received a $5,000 grant. The highest percentage of our revenue comes from individual and corporate donations. Most of the businesses and organizations reach out to us and ask if they can fundraise for us. We consider them community partners and are honored they choose us as their beneficiary. Grants are our second highest revenue source. This year weve received three grants. In addition, we earn revenue from training we provide to educate our community on howto be better allies through gender affirming practices. In 2022, we provided trainingsessions for Capital One, Dominion Energy, SCAN, and Henrico County Mental Health andDevelopment Services, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, and VCU Medical just to name afew. Currently, we have 10 sessions on the calendar for September and October and arebooking into 2024. Lastly, a new source of income for us this year is from our inauguralCommunity Connections fundraising event, which was an 80sDance Party. We had over 200people in attendance and had the support of a dozen businesses as sponsors.”
