The general goals of this effort are to:

1. Bring the talent and efforts of transgender communities of color more to the
center of the work already being done by many within the broader transgender
community. More specifically, this effort will expand the network and thus
leverage efforts and resources in a more effective and efficient manner.

2. Strengthen the transgender faith community through training and networking.
This will be done in ways that will help individuals with their personal journeys,
while initiating change within and between communities of faith. It will support
ongoing work aimed at creating more welcoming and truly inclusive
communities of faith.

3. Develop and implement a survey that will provide greater insight into the
needs and opportunities that exist for transgender people of faith and others.
This work will, in turn, yield a final report that will provide leaders in faith
communities with ways to enhance the service to and experience of transgender
people of faith, as well as aid socio-political activists at the policy level.
