Destination Tomorrow is thrilled to be one of 16 grantees selected to receive @GileadSciences’ TRANScend Community Impact Fund this year. Through this community grant, we aim to enhance HIV support for individuals living with HIV in the transgender health sector while working together to reduce stigma.
Destination Tomorrow Receives $1,000,000 from Gilead Sciences to Enhance Transgender Health and Provide HIV Support through Community Grants
Today, Destination Tomorrow celebrated the receipt of a $1,000,000 grant from Gilead Sciences’ TRANScend Community Impact Fund. This funding will enable the organization to further its mission of improving the safety, health, and wellness of the transgender community, particularly for those living with HIV. The funds will be directed towards developing a grant-making program that specifically addresses the disproportionate impact of HIV within transgender populations.
Gilead Sciences is making a significant contribution to honor Transgender Day of Remembrance. Through its TRANScend Community Impact Fund, advised by a board of trans activists and leaders, Gilead has selected 15 transgender organizations to receive a share of a $4.5 million donation. This amount will support community grants over the next two years, with a focus on enhancing transgender health and providing crucial HIV support.
