Funding Trans Futures: Applications Now Open for ITF’s 10th Cycle
Today, we proudly launch the 10th grant cycle of International Trans Fund — a participatory fund shaped by trans activists and donors, dedicated to expanding resources for trans-led organizing.
Applications are open now through December 1, 2025.
(If you haven’t already, this is the perfect time to create or update your organizational profile!)
Apply via our grants portal.
What we will fund:
- Activism for and by trans people: Trans-led groups trusted by their communities, working with resilience and vision.
- Movement-focused approaches: Projects that go beyond service delivery to build collective power, dismantle structural barriers, and strengthen sustainable infrastructures.
- Diverse voices and contexts: Initiatives led by trans communities navigating intersecting forms of marginalization.
Trans organizations and movements receive only a tiny fraction of global funding. ITF was created to help change that reality. Over nine grantmaking cycles, we have had the privilege of supporting and learning from 260 grantee partners and together we’ve built and strengthened trans movements worldwide. If your group meets ITF’s eligibility criteria and is dedicated to advancing strong, vibrant trans movements, we warmly encourage you to apply.
There two kinds of grants:
1. SEED grants are 1-year grants for organizations that have not been funded by the ITF before. The grant amounts range from $10,000 USD to $25,000 USD.
2. THRIVE grants are 1-year grants available to ITF grantee partners that have previously held a SEED grant. The grant amounts range from $25,000 USD to $50,000 USD.
*We accept applications in English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
