The Trans Journalists Association exists so that trans and gender-expansive journalists can build careers that last and so that newsrooms cover our communities with accuracy and care. That work isn't getting easier, and we aren't stepping back from it.
In fact, we're Digging Our Heels In!
That's why we're raising $25,000 by December 1, 2026, so we can sustain the resources, programs, and community our members rely on that also transform the journalism industry.
Here’s how your donation — no matter the amount — can help:
- $25 aids timely coverage guidance that informs the whole journalism industry about best practices for covering trans communities and the news that affects us.
- $50 keeps our annual memberships free for trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive journalists and students.
- $100 supports the expansion of our Stylebook & Coverage Guide, a tool for journalists to improve news coverage of trans communities, and our Workplace & Holistic Safety Guide, a tool that helps newsroom leaders and allies support trans workers.
- $250 helps us provide low-cost and free training to newsrooms, TJA members, and community groups.
- $500 covers a travel scholarship to attend our inaugural Trans Journalists Summit.
- $750 fortifies our Reporting Fellowship which directly invests in trans storytelling.
- $1,000 fully covers a professional development stipend for a journalist or student.
Will you contribute at least $25 today?
