At the start of June, SRLP announced the second stage of our What Would Be Possible? campaign: to raise $50,000 and provide $25K for our organizational stability and $25K directly to our community by June 30.
We are so grateful to the more than 1,000 supporters who have helped us exceed our goal! On June 15, we announced that we are TRIPLING our goal and calling on our community to help us raise $150,000 by the end of Give OUT Day on June 30!
SRLP is responding to this vivid moment in the history of our movements by increasing our capacity to directly support our members and clients. Our new microgrants address the urgent survival & self-determination needs of our community members during COVID-19 through 4 types of support:
Our goal--and every dollar you contribute--support us in resourcing these microgrants for the next year, in addition to providing paid leadership development opportunities for transgender and gender non-conforming people of color and low-income TGNC people year-round.
With your support, so much more is possible! If we can reach our goal, we can strengthen these new microgrants and make this community support sustainable, all while continuing our pro bono legal services and movement-building work!

Microgrant applications are now open and will close Wednesday, July 8. Visit SRLP.org/microgrants to learn more and apply!
The micro-grants are new developments for SRLP in envisioning ways to keep supporting, uplifting and addressing needs for our people, by our people.
Are you a community member? Take our COVID-19 relief survey to help us assess the needs of the community to move forward with mutual aid, micro-grant applications, and plugging members into other aid networks.
Are you a supporter interested in volunteering? Take our COVID-19 Volunteer Asisstance survey to help us assess volunteer interest and ability to aid in work that relieves our community members as they struggle with the effects of the pandemic.

We have a special opportunity for our supporters to directly support the health of SRLP community! Your donation of $50 or more will cover the cost of 3 face masks: we will mail a mask to you, and your contribution will cover the cost of providing two masks directly to an SRLP member. The additional proceeds will go directly towards our goal of moving $75,000 to community through microgrants over the next year.
Thank you for your contribution to our vital direct services & movement-building work!
