FCAA's annual resource tracking project revealed a $3 million increase in HIV-related funding for trans communities in 2014. Funders for LGBTQ Issues also recently reported that trans funding had reached a record high of $12.9 million in 2014.
 
Why and how is philanthropic funding for trans communities on the rise? What is behind this exciting trend? What gaps still remain?
 
Join us on April 26th to engage in facilitated conversations between private funders, advocates and key experts on where the philanthropic sector should focus when it comes to HIV and trans communities. Attendees will:
  • Learn the latest funding data
  • Find out why and how funders have created trans funding priorities
  • Hear directly from advocates and grantees on the ground about funding needs and barriers to accessing foundation funding
  • Discover strategies to be a more effective funder of trans work
For more information, please review the agenda and exciting speakers below. 

Space is limited, RSVP by Friday, April 22nd!
