Deadline: 15 February 2018
Applications are open for Trans Justice Funding Project grant that is a community-led funding initiative founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people.
This project makes grants annually by bringing together a panel of six trans justice activists from around the country to carefully review every application they receive.
They center the leadership of trans people organizing around their experiences with racism, economic injustice, transmisogyny, ableism, immigration, incarceration, and other intersecting oppressions.
Over the last five years, They’ve received 661 applications, given away 536 grants through their community-led process, and distributed more than $1.3 million.
