Borealis Philanthropy: COVID-19 Collective Fund for Trans Communities
Borealis Philanthropy’s Fund for Trans Generations, Destination Tomorrow’s TRANScend Community Impact Fund, and Third Wave Fund have launched the COVID-19 Collective Fund for Trans Communities to get financial resources to trans-led organizations and transgender, gender nonconforming, and non-binary communities who are organizing in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
Priority will be given to trans-led organizations with a racial justice focus. We encourage requests by Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC).
Some examples of activities that may be supported by this collective’s grantmaking include, but are not limited to:
- Mutual aid and care support networks
- Healing and virtual wellness spaces
- Online/virtual programming needs
- Living stipends for members and/or staff
- Survival needs i.e. food, rent support, shelter, utilities
- Organizing and advocacy
Grant sizes will range based on requests for funding. There is no minimum or maximum organizational budget criteria.
