Borealis Philanthropy, a Minneapolis-based philanthropic intermediary, has announced fifty-six grants totaling $1.88 million in support of trans-led organizations across the United States.

Awarded through the organization's Fund for Trans Generations, which was established in 2016 to invest in trans-led organizing and help build a future in which transgender, gender non-conforming, and nonbinary people live with freedom, safety, and self-determination, the grants will help organizations address physical community and office space needs, housing services and access, mutual aid and care networks, wellness and mental health, and assist incarcerated, homeless, and/or disabled trans people.

While most of the awards were renewal grants, four organizations — Baltimore Safe Haven, the Fireweed Collective, Sisters PGH, and TRANScending Women — received new grants. More than 80 percent of the organizations that received funding during the latest grantmaking cycle have budgets of $300,000 or less, including twenty-two with a budget of less than $100,000.
