Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

TJA'S CENTRAL CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL MISSION IS TO SUPPORT RIGOROUS, RESPECTFUL REPORTING ON TRANS COMMUNITIES THROUGH OUTREACH TO NEWSROOMS, AND TO INCREASE TRANS JOURNALISTS' OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY.

  • Level Up - Designed to help journalists achieve their career development goals, this program covers small, one time costs (via $250 and $500 stipends) for journalists seeking to attend a conference, participate in a skills workshop, or take career-enhancing training. We also prioritized applicants who are particularly invested in covering gender justice or speaking to the broader journalism industry, which furthers TJA's coverage goals. For our inaugural round, we set aside stipends specifically for student journalists and early-career journalists who never attended a formal journalism program. In total across two rounds, we directly invested $27,000 into the careers of 53 members. Additional expenses went to marketing, promotion, and program management.

    Expenses $45,880 · Grants $27,000

  • Coverage outreach - Our coverage outreach efforts happened in partnership with or at meetings, events, and conferences hosted by organizational partners. The partners include the National Press Club, the National Association of Science Writers, ACES: The Society for Editing, the Association of Health Care Journalists, the Education Writers Association, the New England Scholastic Press Association, and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY among others. We also continued to publish, at least once a month, a newsletter with timely coverage guidance and reporting resources.

    Expenses $44,775

  • Member training - Our newly launched membership system grew to almost 600 people, a mix of longtime members and new faces joining the fresh, updated website. In response, the organization continued to develop timely and relevant professional development and training opportunities, including session on coping with stress, trauma, and burnout; filing public information requests; digital safety and security; and best practices for covering extremism and political violence.

    Expenses $33,839

  • Expenses $93,565

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
