Their first year will incorporate learning grants and interviews of field leaders to inform their participatory grantmaking and role in shifting philanthropy to better incorporate disability justice
- Trans Justice Funding Project – is a community-led funding initiative to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people. TJFP centers the leadership of trans people organizing around their experiences with racism, economic injustice, transmisogyny, ableism, immigration, incarceration, and other intersecting oppressions
Our network will be enriched by the deep experience and cultural competency that each of these veteran social justice funds brings to our ecosystem. We will center reciprocity and mutuality in our partnership and model a coordinated and strategic approach to mobilizing resources for and learning from grassroots organizers and movement builders. These organizations represent a pilot initiative and we look forward to learning alongside them and their grassroots partners.
