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:

The ITF’s 6th Grant Cycle is Now Open

The ITF is pleased to announce our 6th 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 5, 2021 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.

If you have questions, please contact [email protected]

6th Grant Cycle Opens this Week!

The ITF will launch our 6th grant cycle on October 22, 2021! This call is open to trans-led groups in all regions of the world with operational budgets of less than $100,000.

We begin by opening the call and sharing all the necessary documents for you to apply. In the following week, we will start a series of funding webinars to share information about the ITF and our grants, and to respond to questions from trans communities.

Check below for our Funding Webinars agenda, and register for the one that is best for you. The information we provide is similar in all webinars; we only offer it in different languages and times for your convenience.

Participation in the webinars is entirely optional — you do not need to attend any of them to apply for ITF funding.
