The 2024 application period for the Trans Resilience Fund opens on May 20th. Check back then for details on how to apply.

The Trans Resilience Fund (the Fund) began in 2021 as a one-time pooled fund to support the trans community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fund utilizes a participatory grantmaking process in which a committee of trans and non-binary community members sets guidelines and makes funding decisions.
