Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To bring together the community of trans, non-binary, genderqueer, androgynous, intersex & our allies in the St. Louis metro area through community, visibility, advocacy, and education.

  • Social and emotional support, resources, and referrals for trans and gender-expansive adult community members in need. Community Outreach drop-in hours are held weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with additional appointments available throughout the week. Includes a food and hygiene pantry with monthly delivery service, a free clothing closet, bus passes, peer counseling, community gathering space, and name change clinic support. Serving over 2,800 clients per year. The long-term goal is improved quality of life for community members through increased access to essential items, services, and social and emotional support.

    Expenses $216,937

  • Informational and cultural competency educational sessions offered to local organizations and businesses, with a long-term goal of making public spaces safer and more equitable for trans and gender non-conforming adults. Professional leadership development for majority trans and gender non-conforming staff and board. The Education Cohort is made up of community members who receive training to conduct their own educational sessions. Includes the quarterly FACES magazine, which features content written by community members and leaders.

    Expenses $90,500

  • Community events and the Transgender Memorial Garden. Throughout the year MTUG hosts gatherings that build connection and visibility, including Pride events, an annual trans prom, and a community picnic. MTUG also maintains the Transgender Memorial Garden, established in 2015 as the first memorial of its kind in the nation, a dedicated space to mourn transgender lives lost to violence and to celebrate transgender lives. The long-term goal is to strengthen community connection, visibility, and collective resilience.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
