The priority focus area for 2023 is HIV/STD education, prevention, and treatment for the LGBTQ community. Applications with other areas of focus, including community services and research and public education, will be considered after those with the priority focus are evaluated. Click here for more.

Supported efforts can include community organizing and mobilization, healing justice work, conflict resolution, community accountability, transformative and restorative justice work, direct action, and more. Support is provided to organizations that are led by young women of color and trans, queer, gender non conforming, and intersex young people of color under 35. Organizations must demonstrate how the issues they are responding to are connected to patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, gender inequity, or gender-based violence; be led by and for communities directly impacted by the issues they focus on; and have a total organizational budget under $500,000.
