The Trans Justice Funding Project (TJFP) is seeking applications for its grant program to support trans-led groups with budgets of under $250,000 in the United States.

The  term  “trans”  in  its  most  inclusive  sense,  as  an  umbrella  term  encompassing  transsexual,  transgender, genderqueer,  Two-Spirit  people,  and  more  generally,  anyone  whose  gender  identity  or  gender  expression  is  non-conforming   and/or  different  from  their  birth-assigned  sex.

TJFP see trans justice as a commitment to creating a world where trans and gender non-conforming individuals and communities have the freedom to self-define and express their genders without fear of violence, discrimination, or harassment. A world where we recognize and honor communities have knowledge and expertise in matters relating to their own lives that no one else will have.
