We are brave and innovative in our vision to create safer, thriving communities for trans people of color. As we remain committed to serving transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and gender nonconforming (TGNC) young people, we pivoted to explicitly center transgender women of color, and trans and nonbinary youth in survival mode and without traditional systems of support, in their experiences, resiliency, leadership, and wisdom. 1 0 110000 0 0 LIBERATION CAMP: In 2023, 22 BIPOC leaders attended Liberation Camp. Liberation Camp centers capacity building and leadership development in an exclusively trans, affirming, intergenerational organizing space. We bring together budding trans movement leaders of color and trans women of color elders to skill share and learn from each other as part of larger movement building efforts. The camp serves as a pipeline to build new networks of movement leaders, where trans people of color can bond with their peers and take on mentorship roles. 170000 0 0 LIBERATION TOUR: In direct response to the attack on our trans community across every legislature, we dreamed up the Liberation Tour. This tour served as a platform to raise awareness about the concerning anti-trans bills in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas and amplify the voices of trans girls and trans women of color. Through the Tour, we engaged local trans communities of color throughout our region, identifying what our community members need to survive and thrive in these times, building networks of support, and shifting the narrative on these bills. The tour visited 10 cities across our three state region. 15000 7725 0 Microgrants include assistance offered to trans community members. This includes our holiday microgrants for trans young people, to support costs related to housing, food, medical, school, and professional development. It also includes other assistance to individuals to cover emergencies, healthcare, and necessities. 85000 0 0 Leadership Development: Transformations offers various leadership and skills development opportunities to trans leaders of colors throughout its broader community. Transformations held a retreat for community leaders in 2023. Other activities can include media advocacy coaching and mentorship, legislative advocacy training, and attendance at professional conferences and networking events. They can also include more informal sisterhood building opportunities designed to build relationships between local leaders of trans communities of color, especially for trans women and femmes of color. In 2023, Transformations also worked to launch the Community Advisory Board, which subsequently launched in January 2024. 95057 0 0 Community building and outreach: Transformations hosts and participates in a number of events throughout the year to celebrate trans people of color in our services area as well as bring attention to the challenges facing our community members. Transformations regularly participates in Pride Month events, Trans Day of Remembrance, and Trans Day of Visibility, as some examples. It hosts regular Hey Sis programming online to connect trans community members across the region and build collective knowledge on important topics and emerging trends. Transformations also conducts outreach and hosts programming to build greater relationships among trans communities of color throughout our service area. 180057 0 0 475057 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 X X Susan Mclannahan 9132982898 7416 Wornall Rd Kansas City MO 64114 Merrique Jenson Executive Director 60 0 X 56442 0 0 Aaron Gray Board Chair 2 0 X X 4500 0 0 Kelly Nou Board Member 1 0 X 1325 0 0 Simaya Turner Board Member 1 0 X 1250 0 0 JD Bezares Treasurer 2 0 X X 519 0 0 Hailee Bland Walsh Vice Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Susan McClannahan Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Chadwick Campbell Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 64036 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 487925 0 487925 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 487925 0 0 0 X 3103 3103 4622 4622 0 0 0 0 59371 59371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4105 4105 0 0 16241 16241 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 119304 119304 0 0 8099 0 8099 0 578 271 307 0 9091 9091 0 0 0 0 0 0 2448 2448 0 0 164708 164708 0 0 0 0 0 0 7883 7883 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1580 1580 0 0 Program Supplies 65443 65443 0 0 Meals 12084 12084 0 0 Other Business Expenses 4803 4803 0 0 0 0 0 0 483463 475057 8406 0 55501 90308 97 55501 90405 24969 0 0 24969 X 55501 65436 0 0 55501 65436 55501 90405 X 4462 0 5472 0 0 1 X 0 0 0 X 86276 44849 103500 237072 487925 959622 86276 44849 103500 237072 487925 959622 66000 25105 55000 72467 35434 254006 66000 25105 55000 72467 35434 254006 705616 86276 44849 103500 237072 487925 959622 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part III, Line 2 In response to the unprecedented attack on trans communities at the state legislatures throughout our region - Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas, Transformations launched the Liberation Tour in spring 2023 to amplify the voices of trans girls and trans women of color during this critical time. Through the Tour, we engaged local trans communities of color throughout our region, identifying what our community members need to survive and thrive in these times, building networks of support, and shifting the narrative on these bills. In 2023, Transformations established its Community Advisory Board, composed of trans-BIPOC leaders who offer their expertise and insights to guide and shape the organization's work. The Community Advisory Board forms our core team of leaders that we rely on for our on-the-ground work, including leading our Liberation Tour across the Midwest and Ozarks in the summer of 2023, hosting healing and mobilization campaigns across our region, and working closely with trans women of color to do intentional storytelling and narrative shifting work in response to the anti-trans legislation and violence that are prevalent in our region. CAB members meet every quarter to discuss organizational priorities and community needs so that Transformations' programming centers and empowers those who are most marginalized in our communities, especially young trans women of color who are living with HIV, engaging in sex work, and/or living in survival mode.
