The mission of the Fund for Trans Generations (FTG) is to invest in trans-led organizing to support a future where transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary people live with freedom, safety, and self-determination. It aims to provide significant resources to emerging trans-led groups with limited access to national funding streams, growing with organizations to increase their capacity and leadership development, addressing the needs of transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary communities.
The Fund for Trans Generations grants program supports a wide range of causes to enhance the quality of life and ensure the rights of transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary individuals. This includes general support and organizational development grants focusing on areas such as Health and Healing, Education, Anti-Violence, Employment, Housing, Criminalization, Leadership Development, Grassroots Organizing, Movement Building, Mutual Aid and Direct Services, and Arts and Culture. The program is based on values that emphasize justice over equality, intersectional feminism, the eradication of societal transphobia, misogyny, racism, classism, and homophobia, resilience within trans communities, and the importance of solidarity, collaboration, and transparency. The Rapid Response Fund within the program is designed to offer immediate financial aid to organizations facing urgent challenges or opportunities, with grants up to $10,000 for projects not exceeding a $600,000 budget.
We will give precedence to providing assistance for organizations and projects with fiscal sponsorship that are rooted in transgender communities experiencing significant harm and with minimal foundation support access. Examples of requests we may consider include:
