Trans Doe Task Force, Inc. is a Trans-led 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization that was created as an unincorporated grassroots effort in 2018, it operated as a FG4LE advanced student intern club during 2020, and became a nonprofit organization in 2021. The nonprofit was started by Anthony Redgrave and Lee Bingham Redgrave, then anthropologist Dr. Amy Michael and LAMMP admin Jessica Veltstra joined. They work to research cases of missing and murdered LGBTQ+ persons, specifically individuals who identified/or who may have identified as Transgender, because transgender and gender-variant people have a higher suicide rate as well as being targeted more in violent crimes due to them being more likely to estranged from their families. Trans Doe Task Force, Inc. works to educate people about the needs of Trans Doe cases compared to other Doe cases. They use LAMMP (LGBTQ+ Accountability for Missing and Murdered Persons) as a database for missing, murdered, and unclaimed LGBTQ+ people to try to match and identify cases that need LGBTQ+ informed consideration. All donations go towards supporting the Trans Doe Task Force.
