Nat Smith is the Finance & Development Director with House of gg, founded by Transgender activist Miss Major. Nat has been involved in the struggle for trans liberation since the early 2000s beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area of California with the Trans in Prison Project of California Prison Focus, also known as TIP. TIP would become the Transgender, Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), of which Nat is a founding member. It was through TGIJP that Nat met Miss Major and the lifelong friendship began. Nat approaches nonprofit accounting and finance from a liberatory standpoint, acknowledging that the historical and current gatekeepers of this work are people who don’t look like us or come from our communities. From that vantage point, Nat works to grow the power of our organizations and movement builders so that we are our own Board Treasurers, Finance Directors, Accountants, and Bookkeepers. Nat believes that our budgets must align with our values, that we must challenge capitalism and expect abundance.
