About the briefing:
Right now, philanthropy has the opportunity to invest in trans and queer communities of color who are transforming pain into power. As we continue to process the results of the elections, we invite you to join trans and queer resource mobilizers for We Got Us: Resourcing BIPOC Trans/Queer Communities, a funder briefing co-sponsored by Emergent Fund, Funders for Justice, and Funders for LGBTQ Issues.
RSVP for this conversation with movement funders in public and private foundations who are committed to building trans power. Learn more about the Action for Transformation Fund and how philanthropy can be in alignment with trans/queer communities of color for the long-haul.
BIPOC trans people have never waited for the State to meet their needs. Today’s vitriolic anti-trans policies and rhetoric are an escalation of a long history of state sanctioned violence. Despite this, trans folks have never failed to build joyful, beautiful, and powerful networks of care. As we chart a path forward for our communities, we know movements led by trans/queer Black, Indigenous, people of color will continue to hold, protect, and love on each other.

About the Briefing Hosts
Emergent Fund is a national rapid response fund created to explicitly support Black, Indigenous and People of Color-led (BIPOC) social justice movements. From family separation, to Muslim bans to continued violence against Black communities, Emergent Fund grantees are BIPOC organizers and directly impacted communities responding to the biggest crises of our time by boldly fighting to build the world we all deserve.
Funders for Justice is a national funder organizing platform mobilizing resources to grassroots organizing, led by and for people of color, at the intersections of racial justice, gender justice, ending criminalization, and building models for community safety and justice.
Funders for LGBTQ Issues educates and organizes funders, and supports power-building to create an abundance of resources for the justice and liberation of all queer communities. We envision a world where all queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people are liberated, loved, valued, respected, and thriving. Funders for LGBTQ Issues is a network of more than 100 foundations, corporations, and funding institutions that collectively award more than $1 billion annually, including approximately $200 million specifically devoted to LGBTQ issues.
