The International Trans Fund (ITF) is a participatory grantmaking fund made up of trans activists and donors. The ITF aims to increase the capacity of the trans movement to self-organize and advocate for trans people’s rights, self-determination, and wellbeing.

The ITF aims to increase the capacity of the trans movement to self-organize and advocate for trans people’s rights, self-determination and wellbeing. Our purpose is to:

• Build and sustain a mechanism to support trans-led groups of different sizes working on a range of issues at the international, regional, country, and local levels, with an emphasis on groups with access to fewer resources.
• Increase resources and enhance access to resources to support trans movements:
  a. Increasing financial resources dedicated to trans-led organizations and groups through grantmaking.
  b. Increasing access to non-financial resources for trans organizations, such as skills building, organizational strengthening, leadership development and activist support.
  c. Increasing access to other and new donors.
• Educate our peers in the philanthropic community on trans issues and influence other funders and strategic allies in trans-related commitments and strategies.
