Art affects public opinion, but we can't move the needle solely by financing artists one by one — we need to continue the conversation in public space.

We reach wider audiences by prioritizing basic needs, community support, and public engagement ↓

Basic needs

We administer programs that address the basic needs of those struggling in our communities.

<h4 class="black">Transanta</h4><p>A mutual aid project connecting anonymous gift-givers everywhere with trans youth who are unhoused, in foster care, or otherwise without crucial support they need to thrive. </p>

<h4 class="black">SOS Grants</h4><p>Immediate cash grants were offered to QBIPOC artists struggling to make ends meet during Covid-19 lockdown.</p>

<h4 class="black">Love Is Uninterrupted</h4><p>Transanta partnered with Uninterrupted and Flikshop, commissioning original art from trans youth to be printed on holiday cards people could send to incarcerated trans people.</p>

Community support

We partner with other organizers with parallel missions, leveraging our infrastructure to further their grassroots efforts.

<h4>Trans Week</h4> <p>We collaborate with Chase Strangio, Raquel Willis, and Ash + Chess on this annual week of action in support of trans lives.</p>

<h4>chosen•kin</h4> <p>Fiscal sponsee Shaé Smith supports trans BIPOC parents through art therapy and retreats.</p>

Chase Strangio

Fiscal sponsee Chase Strangio creates content to counter harmful transphobic narratives in public space.

Public engagement

We bring the message of our mission into public spaces.

Support Trans Voices

We commissioned queer artists to design affirming messages for trans youth in public installations.

<h4 class="black">Sisters Not Cisters</h4><p>We designed and produced t-shirts promoting trans-inclusive feminism.</p>

And we do so much more!
