ITF’s 11th Cycle is Open!
Applications for the International Trans Fund’s 11th Grant Cycle are now open!
Across the world, trans movements continue to organize, build community, resist violence and create new possibilities for our futures. ITF exists to ensure that trans-led groups have access to resources to sustain and strengthen this work.
For our 11th Grant Cycle, eligible trans-led groups are invited to apply for ITF funding.
WHAT WE FUND
Activism for and by trans people: Trans-led groups who are trusted by their communities, and work with resilience and vision.
Movement-focused approaches: Organizations 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 ten grant cycles, we have had the privilege of supporting and learning from 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 ARE TWO KINDS OF GRANTS
1. SEED grants are 1-year grants for organizations that have not been funded by the ITF before. 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. Grant amounts range from $25,000 USD to $50,000 USD.
We accept applications in English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
Our Grants Manager, Shaman, is here to tell you a bit more about our 11th Cycle:
