As part of its robust transgender support initiative, The Our Fund Foundation is proud to sponsor a powerful new OP-ED series elevating the voices of South Florida’s transgender community.

At a time when transgender people face increasing hostility and marginalization, this series aims to foster education, empathy, and allyship through personal narratives and lived experiences.

The Our Fund Foundation’s mission is to promote philanthropy, manage enduring investments, and conduct meaningful grantmaking to improve the lives of LGBTQ people in South Florida. Through this series, the Foundation hopes to deepen understanding, strengthen support, and contribute to a more just and inclusive community for all LGBTQ individuals.

“The Our Fund Foundation is proud to sponsor this op-ed series amplifying transgender voices at a time when understanding and empathy are more critical than ever,” said David Jobin, President & CEO of The Our Fund Foundation. “In the wake of a divisive election cycle that scapegoated transgender people for political gain, it’s vital that our LGBTQ community stands united. Our focus isn’t on manufactured controversies like high school sports, pronouns, or bathrooms — it’s on saving lives, fostering dignity, and building a more informed and compassionate South Florida. This series is about listening, learning, and refusing to let anyone in our community be left behind.”

The initiative was envisioned by Tom Jones, a longtime supporter of The Our Fund Foundation, who played a key role in launching the series through The Our Fund Foundation's Transgender Fund.

“The sad truth of the matter is that most people, including the LGBQ community, do not know or appreciate the daily reality of the transgender community and the issues and challenges they face. This understanding is vital to fully support the Trans community,” said Jones. “Our Fund’s educational project working through a collaboration with OutSFL is designed to close that education gap. It deserves our support.”
