The Leonard-Litz LGBTQ+ Foundation has launched the TransPLUS Grant to support transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and intersex communities across the United States. This initiative is part of the Leonard Litz TransPLUS Resource Center, which serves as a platform to empower and unify these communities while responding to ongoing discrimination and socio-political challenges.
The TransPLUS Grant is designed to assist both individuals and organizations that are addressing the unique health, housing, legal, and spiritual needs of TGNCNBI individuals. The initiative also supports community building, peer-support networks, events, and awareness campaigns that foster resilience and representation in the LGBTQ+ movement.
Applications for the TransPLUS Grant are accepted during three annual cycles: Winter (January 15 to March 15), Spring (April 15 to June 15), and Fall (October 15 to December 15). It is not a rolling grant but does recur regularly throughout the year.
The opportunity is available nationwide, with eligibility open to nonprofits and individuals whose missions align with the foundation’s focus on serving TGNCNBI populations. Applicants should demonstrate a clear impact on community well-being and empowerment.
Although no specific funding amounts or award limits are listed, the grant includes both financial support and strategic amplification for TGNCNBI leaders and organizations. There are no matching requirements, and recipients may include various community services or initiatives.
The primary contact for this grant is Robyn Schlesinger, who can be reached via email at TransPLUS@leonardlitz.org. While no formal application questions or tips are listed, the Foundation encourages proposals that center safety, advocacy, and community leadership.
