Deceit and Betrayal at the International Foundation for Gender Education
Posted by Dallas Denny on Aug 16, 2011
http://dallasdenny.com/wordpress/?p=11Twenty years ago the International Foundation for Gender Education was seen by many in the fledgling transgender community as the bright shining star of the universe. I didn't share that opinion– nor did JoAnn Roberts, who penned an article in Renaissance News titled "The International Foundation for Gender Education: None of the Above"— but many community leaders were enthusiastically supportive.
With IRS 501(c)(3) educational status, an annual budget of $325,000, a headquarters in suburban Boston, a bookstore, a perfect-bound four-color magazine, an annual conference, and an endowment worth some $100,000, IFGE was a formidable entity in a day when every other community organization had an income of $25,000 or less. IFGE was clearly doing a lot of things right.

And lastly, IFGE's Winslow Street Fund functioned as an endowment that was designed to grow in perpetuity and fund various transgender-related projects and endeavors.

That leaves the Winslow Street Fund. I have great concern for its well-being.
