Describe when you started the nonprofit organization and why this grant would assist your start-up non-profit organization: Alianza Translatinx (ATL), Orange County's pioneering Trans -led organization, provides comprehensive health services for Latinx Transgender (Trans) and gender non -conforming (GNC) individuals, fostering empowerment, capacity -building, and social justice advocacy. ATL emerged from the efforts among Transgender Latinx leaders who organized to meet the needs of other TGNC community members, which were not being acknowledged let alone met by health care systems during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. ATL, serves the entire TGNC community in the City of Santa Ana (City). The majority of our clients are Latinx and undocumented individuals who endure racism, xenophobia, and transphobia. As the sole provider of services in a county with limited resources for TGNC people, we address critical needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. High unemployment rates necessitate financial assistance for basic needs. Our community also faces significant mental health challenges, prompting our collaboration with agencies to offer therapy sessions, HIV/STD testing, and other medical services. Our work aims to advance social justice for our priority community. This grant would catalyze our ability to expand our impact and build a more equitable City. This grant will provide the seed -funding for ATL's to expand existing support groups to include youth specific programming while also ensuring the necessary organizational sustainability that will allow ATL to connect new youth participants to resources. ATL is defining "youth" as any person between the ages of 18-28 for the purposes of the proposed program. Our aim is to develop comprehensive programs and services for all TGNC people, including children and youth. We envision creating a supportive and inclusive environment where young TGNC individuals can thrive. As more youth continue to identify as gender expansive, we want to expand our youth programs, including mental health support, educational resources, and mentorship opportunities; while establishing partnerships with schools and healthcare providers to ensure that TGNC children and youth receive the necessary support and affirming care they deserve.
