TCNE is launching our crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for First Event 2026!

Did you know that TCNE is led by volunteers and there is no paid staff for TCNE or First Event! Being community driven, First Event relies on the generosity of donors to help us make First Event happen.

To Connect You to Your Path is the mission of TCNE and is demonstrated most visibly with our annual conference, First Event. First Event opens the door for transgender and gender-expansive people and those who love and support them to literally hundreds of resources, connections, and education all in one location.

For First Event 2026, we are planning to add new programming to expand diversity and inclusion. We are also implementing sliding-scale pricing to make our conference more equitable. More changes to come!

And to do this, we need your help.

Consider making a tax-deductible donation today (yes, you can donate anonymously) by clicking the donate button on this page. Your donation will go to expenses for launching First Event 2026, or other events planned for 2026.

TCNE is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with low expenses and no paid staff, so nearly all of donated monies are used to fund First Event and other community-building events.

Consider asking your company to make a donation or connect them to the TCNE/First Event fundraising committee, just email us at info@tcne.org for more information.

Please enable TCNE to continue to help you and others connect to their path!
