Founded in 2013, SPARTA Pride is a national nonpartisan nonprofit organization that’s home to community of transgender service members, veterans, and their allies. SPARTA Pride’s membership includes over 2,000 transgender Americans actively serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, many of whom have served honorably for one to two decades. Beyond peer support, SPARTA Pride offers grants to members in need, educates stakeholders and the public about our community, and advocates with lawmakers and leaders for open transgender military service.
SPARTA Pride is a group of transgender people who currently serve or have served in the military. SPARTA Pride is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization not affiliated with the Department of Defense. Membership is open to transgender (to include non-binary and gender-nonconforming) individuals currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. We also offer smaller groups for families of transgender service members, veterans, and allies.
