In response to the unprecedented coordinated legislative attacks on transgender communities in the Southeast and Midwest, several trans-led intermediary funds and their allies are launching the Trans Futures Funding Campaign at Funding Forward. The campaign’s goals are to raise $10 million in new general operating support in 2022 to build the infrastructure and capacity of transgender groups in these regions, and to strengthen partnerships among donors and intermediaries to expand funders’ ability to invest in these groups for the long-term. Join us at this session to hear more about the campaign’s goals and vision for how funders of all types can join this effort to help trans communities under attack not only survive today, but to plan to build power for trans futures across the country.
