According to 340 trans organisations surveyed by the American Jewish World Service and Global Action for Trans* Equality in 2013, more than 50% of trans group operated on an annual budget of less than USD10,000, almost two-thirds said they had no resources, and trans*-led organisations were even less likely to receive foundation funding. To address this disparity, in 2015, a group of international trans* activists and donors have come together to create the first International Trans* Fund.
The International Trans* Fund is now seeking an organisation to serve as the administrative host of the Fund, including fiscal sponsorship and support with administration, fundraising, communications and financial reporting. The administrative host will be identified through a competitive RFP process, initiated through this RFP, and will be chosen by the International Trans* Fund’s Interim Steering Committee which consists of trans* activists and donors.
