ON OCTOBER 26 AT 5:00PM ET WE REOPENED THE APPLICATION AND RECEIVED 21 APPLICATIONS, REACHING OUR FUNDING LIMIT FOR THIS ROUND AND REQUIRING US TO CLOSE THE APPLICATION.
This fall our Trans Day of Resilience & Remembrance Special Grant Round will support activities, events, and projects developed around 2021’s Transgender Day of Resilience & Remembrance (November 20) and Transgender Awareness Week (Nov. 13-19) across the LGBTQ South. Grants of up to $500 will support trans and queer organizers leading projects such as direct action, resilience and healing efforts, direct service, artistic endeavors, and more, across the South.
These new grant rounds are part of the Campaign for Southern Equality’s Southern Equality Fund, which has been making grassroots grants across the LGBTQ South since 2015. Since its inception, the Southern Equality Fund has prioritized supporting work led by BIPOC, transgender, and rural organizers.
