What Transforming Families does
Mission
Transforming Families (TFF) is an inclusive safe space for families with transgender, non-binary, and questioning youth. TFF's mission is to create a better world for transgender youth and their families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our primary function is to hold peer support meetings throughout communities in Minnesota. We currently offer 9 in-person meetings across the state and one online group. Parents work with TFF- trained parent facilitators, gaining support and tools so that they can create a safe, trans-positive home. Teens spend time in group together, led by a paid trans young adult facilitator, building community and learning from each other. TFF is proud of our ongoing service to families with trans youth. TFF also holds a yearly celebration called Day of the Transgender Child. The event has several goals, including celebrating our trans children with a community gathering, bringing resources together to share services offered for the queer community, and highlighting trans artists and community leaders in performances and speeches. We will celebrate our 10 annual event in 2026. TFF engages in ad-hoc activities under the following umbrellas: * Community awareness and training, often in conjunction with partner organizations * Advocacy for trans youth in schools, camps, and other community spaces * Peer assistance through one-on-one meetings with parents and other youth supporters * Collaborative…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $206k to $212k (+3%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of TRANSFORMING FAMILIES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
5 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of TRANSFORMING FAMILIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 4 of 7 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
TRANSFORMING FAMILIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
73% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund TRANSFORMING FAMILIES.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
TRANSFORMING FAMILIES draws 55% of its grant income from funders outside Minnesota, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $23k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
