Caitlyn Jenner is starting a foundation, the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, to fight for equal rights for transgender people, especially via funding organizations that work to combat discrimination in access to housing and health care, and campaign to prevent bullying and suicide.

“Out of the L, the G, the B, and the T, the T is by far the most neglected and the most underfunded. And there are so many great organizations out there that do wonderful work. They’re on the ground. And they survive on literally no funding,” Jenner said when Vanity Fair spoke with her on the phone while she was meeting with the board of her foundation on Monday. “One of my passions after going through everything I’ve been through over the past few years is to help and be in a position to raise money.”

In order to provide seed money for the foundation, Jenner is selling one of the prized vehicles from her personal collection, a 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the very car in which she was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for her July 2015 Vanity Fair cover story. This hopped-up version of Porsche’s most recognizable model is essentially a track car for the street, and will be sold on March 10 at the annual Gooding & Company collector car auctions at the Amelia Island Concours, where it is estimated to bring in up to $250,000. “I had this Porsche, and I thought, What a great opportunity to sell it, hopefully get a good price for it, and then donate all of the money to the foundation as good starter money for the foundation,” Jenner said. “And then we’ll give the money away.”

Jenner has a long relationship with the Porsche brand. “Back in the old days when I was training for the [1976 Olympic] games and I had absolutely no money, I was driving around in a 1963 VW Bug that I paid $175 for. That was 1976, and that was also the first year of the Turbo Porsche,” she said, mentioning one of the marque’s most infamous and challenging performance cars. After seeing the car in a dealership, and reading about it in a magazine, Jenner decided that it was her dream car, and that if she managed to succeed at the Olympics in Montreal, Canada, that year, and find a job afterward, she would buy the car as a reward.

“So I cut out the picture from the magazine, and I brought it to Montreal, and I taped the picture of the car to the ceiling right above the bed—I was in a bunk bed, and I was on the top. And three months later, I actually got a job, and I had a brand-new Porsche Turbo sitting in my driveway. The dream came true.” Jenner kept that car for decades, until she was convinced to sell it by her now ex-wife, Kris Kardashian, back in the 90s. But she missed having a track car and was gifted the 2011 911 RS to replace it. (Jenner jokes that we shouldn’t “feel too bad” for her losing her beloved track toy, as she has another Porsche in reserve. “I have the new 2016 GT3RS. I would call it purple but Porsche calls it Ultravoilet,” she said. “It’s sitting in my garage, and it’s not going anywhere.”)

Additional funding for transgender-rights issues seems increasingly necessary in this political climate. Though Jenner has been a vocal supporter of Republicans, she does not play strict partisan politics like many in her party, especially when it comes to issues about which she’s passionate. After the recent decision by Trump and his cronies in the attorney general’s office to cruelly rescind federal protections for transgender students, Jenner took to social media and created a video criticizing these actions as “a disaster.”

“Obviously I lean toward the Republican side, but if he does good, I’m going to praise him. And if he does bad, like he did in this situation, I’m going to call him out,” she said of the president. “So I called him out. And Jeff Sessions, I called him out, too. You need to take a political stand. Our community has been very marginalized over the years, and we just don’t need things like that. I work with a lot of the Republicans to try to get them to do a better job when they deal with all L.G.B.T. issues.”

In addition to her activism, Jenner has been at work on a memoir, which will be released this spring. “It’s called The Secrets of My Life ,” she said. “We’re kicking it off on April 24 with a Diane Sawyer special, on the two-year anniversary of the first Diane Sawyer special I did. And then the next day, I go on the road.” We expect she’ll take the Porsche.
