Month: October 2022

The ITF’s 7th Grant Cycle is Now Open!

The ITF is pleased to announce our 7th grant cycle! We welcome applications from trans-led organizations with budgets below $100,000 USD based in any region of the world. The deadline to apply is December 12, 2022 at 5pm (ET/New York time).

The ITF has two grant types:

  • SEED Grant (1-year)
    The SEED grant is a 1-year general support and/or project grant for trans-led organizations that have never been funded by the ITF, or that prefer to apply for this grant instead of the THRIVE Grant. Grants range from $10,000 to $25,000 USD/year.
  • THRIVE Grant (1-year)
    The THRIVE grant is a 1-year general support grant ONLY for trans-led organizations that have been previously funded by the ITF and are in good standing. Grants range from $25,000 to $50,000 USD/year.
The application forms and guidelines can be downloaded from our website (here). The forms are available in English, French, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish.

In addition, between October 31st and November 9th, we are hosting Draft Review Service webinars and Funding webinars. You can find the dates and registration links here.

7th Grant Cycle Webinar Calendar

We are excited to announce the opening of the International Trans Fund’s 7th Grant Cycle and share with you the dates for the upcoming Draft Review Service webinars and Funding webinars.

The Draft Review Service (DRS) is a collective, online process where trans-led groups can work with ITF staff on their application for a grant. In 2022, we are offering the DRS in 5 open sessions for groups, especially those with less experience writing grant applications, to develop their ITF Application Form. We invite your trans-led group to register in one of the DRS Introductory sessions via Zoom, between Oct. 31st and Nov. 2nd.

During the ITF’s Funding webinars, we will share information about the eligibility criteria, funding priorities and the grantmaking process. We will give helpful tips on how to write a strong and competitive application. There will also be the opportunity to ask our Program Officers questions. We invite your trans-led group to register in one of the Funding Webinar sessions via Zoom, between Nov 3rd and Nov. 9th. We do not recommend that you participate in a funding webinar if you are already taking part in the Draft Review Service:
