IFGE
The International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE) is a tax-exempt (501c.3) non-profit transgender advocacy organization founded in 1986.
IFGE's stated mission is to "promote understanding and acceptance of transgender people through advocacy and educational initiatives."
At its peak, IFGE was one of the very few TG organizations to have a paid staff and an open-to-the-public office.
IFGE published Transgender Tapestry, which was originally titled The TV-TS Tapestry 1995.
IFGE spun off from the Tiffany Club, a social and support organization for the transgender community, in 1986.
