The Tara Foundation was a charity organization dedicated to the support of low-income and disabled transsexual people.
The main focus of the Tara Foundation was to provide financial assistance to both transsexual male-to-female women and transsexual female-to-male men for sex reassignment surgery.
Specifically, this assistance was aimed at disabled and low-income transsexual individuals.
The Foundation stated that most insurance companies do not cover transsexual related treatments and maintained that the procedures are "medically necessary and life-changing" as opposed to elective or cosmetic.
