BENEFICIARIES
Here at Below the Belt Sports, we believe that sports have the power to change communities. We aim to give back and help our local charities and initiatives within our city and any city that Below the Belt Sports can be found.
the ts madison starter house
This project is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between TS Madison, a cultural powerhouse and champion for Black Trans visibility, and NAESM Inc., a historic organization dedicated to the health and well-being of Black LGBTQ+ communities. Together, we are creating a sanctuary where Black Trans women can access the resources, stability, and care they need to thrive.
​
The TS Madison Starter House is more than a shelter—it is a transformative investment in the future of Black Trans women. We are building a model of care, economic empowerment, and long-term sustainability that ensures Black Trans people have access to safe housing, affirming healthcare, economic opportunities, and holistic support.
