FTG GRANTEE PARTNER, ORGANIZACION LATINA DE TRANS EN TEXAS
 

The Fund for Trans Generations resources BIPOC, trans-led organizations working to advance community safety, supportive community housing, decarceration, and access to health care and mental health—to build a world in which all people can live with self determination, safety, and joy. 

The FTG plays an important role in providing significant resources to emerging trans-led groups that have had limited access to national funding streams. The FTG is committed to growing with organizations and increasing their capacity and leadership development as they meet the needs of transgender, gender non-conforming and nonbinary communities. The Fund provides both general support grants and organizational development grants to their grantee partners.

The FTG’s grantee partners work holistically to address the individual and collective needs of  trans people, from survival to thriving to building power.

The FTG was launched in 2016 and has moved more than $12 million in 751 grants to 234 trans-led organizations!

The FTG’s Grantmaking Process

The FTG continues to engage an advisory committee in its participatory grantmaking process. This committee consists of five trans and nonbinary leaders who play a key part in decision-making and the direction of the Fund.

Current Funding Opportunities

The FTG continues to receive a significant amount of funding requests and, as an intermediary, we are committed to fundraising dollars from institutional philanthropy to regrant to trans-led grassroots organizing efforts rooted in intersectional racial and gender justice. At the moment, the FTG has a rapid response fund available year-round. Please access our FTG Rapid Response FAQ for more information.
