THEIR VALUES: Stonewall Community Foundation is the only public foundation focused on the needs of New York City’s diverse LGBTQ Community "We believe philanthropy, while an expression of love and care, is also power wielded. As such, we strive to model equitable leadership and be accountable, transparent, and trustworthy in our work practices and the advancement of our mission. This includes making philanthropy accessible to everyone and giving people space to live beyond the binary of being only a benefactor or a beneficiary. We believe in centering people who experience the greatest vulnerability in our communities and prioritizing issues causing the most harm in the lives of LGBTQ people. With that, we are explicitly committed to: lifting up all communities of color and transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people; working to end racism and anti-Blackness; and supporting organizations that serve undocumented immigrants and people involved in survival economies."

As our mission states, Trans Families seeks to inspire hope, increase understanding, and create a visible pathway to support trans and gender-diverse children, and all those who touch their lives. As we’ve reflected on how we might best accomplish this, we’ve named what we feel is the core foundation of our work – showing up in a “heart first” way. Trans Families is committed to building community where connections are scarce. Families of gender diverse children often feel a sense of personal isolation, challenges finding accurate resources, and an inability to make connections with other families who have shared experience
