About the fund
The Trans Belonging Fund was established in 2023 by Marchell and Jeffrey Willian to enhance programming and initiatives supporting trans and nonbinary students and to increase education on gender for the larger campus community. The Willians gave the lead gift establishing the Trans Belonging Fund to inspire others to support trans students, as well. The Willians believe unconditional support and care are critical for the trans community, and they chose Michigan because of the work of Spectrum Center and Marchell’s deep love of the university.
Please Note: Gifts to endowed funds will be administered as permanent endowment under Michigan law and University policies; excess distributions may be added to principal for reinvestment or used later for the purpose(s) for which the fund was established
